Dear Players and Parents,

It’s time for another fabulous WJGA golf season! We need your assistance to make this happen successfully. First, please become familiar with the WJGA website. As always, the rules and responsibilities for both players and parents can be found there, along with any current changes in WJGA policies. And, be sure to read the spectator rules, dress code, and tournament withdrawal information carefully. Parents, if you plan to be on the course observing a player, use the same dress code as the player and you will be in great shape! This website was designed specifically with players and parents in mind and hopefully, will be your valuable resource.

One important website posting will be your tee times. In District 5, you may check for it at least 48 hours in advance of each tournament.

We frequently are asked what tees the various age groups will play. Generally speaking, these are the tees that we will use:
Boys 14-17 Blue
Boys 12-13 White
Girls 14-17 White
Girls 12-13 Red
Boys and Girls 8-11 Red

**IMPORTANT**
Parents of 8- to 13-year old golfers

As you know, we have parents as walking scorers for all of the 8-11 and 12-13 age divisions. This is done to assist the juniors in making sure their scores are accurate. They are required to keep their own scores as well. Here are some items you should be aware of:

1. Cyndi Kelly will be organizing all of the walking scorers. She will contact you to arrange the times that you will be walking. You may reach her at 509/290-1671 during the season. Additionally, you can email her at cyndijkelly@yahoo.com or TEXT her with your response. It is critical that you respond to the walking scorer request as soon as possible.

2. As a parent, you are required to walk twice during the season. If you have taken specific days off from work to score, please call Cyndi with that information ASAP to ensure she assigns you for those days.

3. You will not be walking in the group with your child.

4. Cyndi will be calling you prior to each tournament so you will be aware of when you are being expected to walk. I ask that you extend her every courtesy for it is a difficult job to coordinate all of the walking scorers.

5. If for any reason you find that you cannot make it to the tournament, please call Cyndi directly to let her know so she can make other arrangements. Please do not wait until the night before as it is difficult to replace scorers.

We personally ask everyone to do their share of the walking. It will allow every parent to have an opportunity to watch their children play in some of the events. Thank you again on behalf of all of us.

We are looking forward to another great season with our outstanding group of young people. It is always our pleasure to spend part of the summer with them, and what better sport than golf to have fun in.

Sincerely,
Allen and Karen Hatley
