Welcome to the WJGA 2013 tournament season!

Thank you for choosing to participate in the WJGA. We are excited to meet our new junior members and look forward to seeing our returning players and their families again this summer. We have great courses available to our players this season, but we need your help to run our tournaments successfully, so please volunteer if you can. (We always need help with Registration, Scoring and Scoreboards.) Please familiarize yourself with the WJGA guidelines, check the web site often for important updates, and carefully read the following information. We will provide more information about our tournaments as it becomes available. Check back often!
See you in June! Pam and Mark Rachor

Parents and players need to carefully read the Code of Conduct (home page of this wjga.net site). You have both signed off stating you have read and will follow this code.
Players are expected to be able to play golf independently; parent cannot give any advice to a player during the round. Caddies are not allowed at any time.
Players are expected to know the basic Rules of Golf including options for relief from hazards, cart path relief, out of bounds, and lost ball.
Players and spectators are expected to follow the WJGA dress code. Refer to the Code of Conduct for the definition of proper attire. Please Do NOT arrive at any WJGA event wearing athletic shorts, short shorts, tee shirts, tank tops, jeans (denim of any color), cut-offs, sweats, spandex, yoga attire or halter tops. We will have to ask you to change, and we really hate being put in that situation.
Walking Scorer Assignments: ALL players 13 and under are required to provide a walking scorer for at least two of the tournaments a player is entered in. As walking scorer, you will not be making any rules decisions; your job is to keep the players moving, keep accurate score and keep everyone safe. You will not be paired with your child’s group. You will be carrying a radio to contact rules officials if you have any questions. If you are unable to be a walking scorer when you have been assigned then it will be your responsibility to get a substitute to cover your duty. Failure to show for your assigned duty will result in your child not being able to play. We make every effort to assign you to the days you request during registration, and we ask you to thoughtfully consider the best dates for you to commit.
Withdrawal from a tournament: – If a player gives notice to the tournament director (never the golf course) more than 48 hours prior (48 hours is defined as from the beginning, or first tee time, of the tournament) there is no penalty for withdrawal.
· IMPORTANT --- “NO-SHOW” Policy: Failure to give notice of withdrawal LESS THAN 48 hours to the tournament director will result in player being DISQUALIFIED from the next WJGA event in which the player is entered, including WJGA District, State or the Jr World State Qualifier. “Pick-up” (Quit) without permission of the Tournament Director, before play is officially ended, the player is DISQUALIFIED (USGA 6-8a) and is automatically suspended from the next WJGA event in which the player is entered including WJGA District, State or the Jr. World Sectional Qualifier.

QUALIFYING FOR THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP
In addition to the four sub-district tournaments, we have a two-day district championship to be played at Peninsula GC in Port Angeles on July 22-23rd for qualified players. To advance to the District Championship you must place in at least one sub-district event (and meet the scoring guidelines for your age division) as follows:

Boys 8-11 score in the top 6 Girls 8-11 score in the top 4

Tee Time Information
Tee times will be posted on the District 1 page of the WJGA website at least 48 hours prior to the event. Pairings cannot be changed once the tee times are posted. All players should arrive at the course and check-in AT LEAST 30 minutes prior to their posted tee time. All players in the 12-17 age divisions play 18 holes, while players age 8-11 play 9 holes.
