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
