Heart of Ohio Junior Golf Association
2010 Dress Code
Junior members may dress in casual sportswear:
however, no frayed or holey jeans or tops are allowed. Sleeved shirts
only must be worn, and shirts must remain on during play. Soft spike
golf shoes or tennis shoes only are permitted.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Perhaps the most important and lasting lesson taught by
participation in Heart of Ohio Junior Golf Association events is the
development of a sense of sportsmanship, an appreciation of fair and
honest competition, and an attitude of courtesy and respect for fellow
players, tournament officials, club members and spectators. In this spirit,
the Heart of Ohio Junior Golf Association expects participants in its
events to observe all rules set forth in this Code of Conduct. Failure
to observe any of these rules could result in disqualification from the
present or future events and/or any other sanctions deemed appropriate
by the Heart of Ohio Junior Golf Association.
- Arrive at tournament location and check in at Registration 1/2
hour before tee time and be near the tee ten minutes before
your tee time.
- Conduct yourselves at all times like a true sportsman, and do not
engage in un-sportsman like conduct. Acts of un-sportsman like conduct
include, but are not limited to the following examples:
Throwing clubs;
Swearing; Damaging greens; Failing to rake traps; Discarding refuse
in any way other than in proper containers.
- You must play quickly enough
to keep up with the group ahead of you, and you should move along as
rapidly as possible. You will be penalized for undue delay (USGA Rule
No. 37-7).
- Each player must play his
own game with his own skills and knowledge, and may not give or receive
advice. PARENTS AND FRIENDS PLEASE NOTE: Conversation
with a player will be deemed to be the giving of advice to that player,
and could result in the disqualification of that player and/or the
imposition of other penalties. In order to avoid infractions of this
rule and to aid in promoting a climate of fair competition in all HOJGA
events, it is strongly recommended that you stay at least one-half
hole in front of or behind the player whom you are following. If
parents/guests do not abide by this rule, HOJGA will be forced to
allow junior golfers only on tournament course
- Show
the patience and fortitude to complete even the worst round and report
your score and do not pick up or fail to turn in your scorecard.
Unauthorized "pick ups" will automatically suspend you
from the next scheduled event. Your Committee may authorize a "pick
up" at any time for appropriate reasons.
- Make certain that only
one player is on the tee at one time.
- In order to preserve the tees,
do not put your golf bag on them or take unnecessary practice swings
on them. Similarly, protect the greens by making sure that when you
drop golf bags or flag sticks, both are off the green. Be sure to repair
your ball marks on the green. Replace your divots on the fairway.
- Develop
the habit of confidence in your swing and eliminate the necessity of
repeated practice swings. Remember that repeated practice swings become
a bad habit!
- Carry or pull your own clubs. No caddies or electric carts
are permitted in any HOJGA event.
- Smoking and alcoholic beverages will
be prohibited at all times during HOJGA events.
- Be considerate of your
fellow competitors and play the game according to the rules.
