At least one walking/scorer accompanies each group of golfers in the 8-11 and 12-13 age groups.  The walking/scorer’s responsibility is to double check the scores that players report and help in sorting out problems regarding differing scores.  In addition, they help to keep the players moving along at a good pace and make sure players observe proper golf course etiquette.  Walking/scorers have NO responsibility for interpreting the Rules of Golf.

Parents of 8-13 year olds must be a walking scorer (or provide one) in every event their child plays in.

A complete list of instructions and responsibilities will be supplied to walkers when they register at the tournaments they have volunteered for.

The time commitment for this job is as long as the round takes, plus fifteen minutes beforehand.

Rules officials in our program have two basic responsibilities.

• Make certain that competitive play is conducted according the rules of golf as laid down by the USGA
  

  Volunteer Rules Officials perform “attesting” duties at the State Championship. Serious business.

• Teach WJGA competitors about the rules

Volunteers who wish to serve in this capacity must be thoroughly conversant with the rules of golf. WJGA provides ongoing training programs for all those who wish to becomes rules officials and we welcome all those who wish to participate in this way. We encourage all those who wish to become rules officials to contact State Rules Chairman, Paul Lucien at paulgolf72@msn.com

Purpose:  To check in players as they arrive, and to verify that their dress meets WJGA standards (in Code of Conduct).

This person will be arriving at the golf course on tournament day very early. A brief job description would always (there may also be additional duties assigned as needed by the tournament director) include the following;

• 1) Upon arrival (at least 45 minutes before the first tee time), set-up your check-in table in a location that the players will not miss seeing.
• 2) Obtain a pairing sheet from the tournament director.
• 3) Obtain a radio from the person in charge of radios (usually rules chairman)
• 4) As the players arrive, check them off on your pairing sheet. As you’re checking them in, verify that their dress meets the WJGA standards (on Code of Conduct).
• 5) The starter may call you asking if a certain person has checked in or not.
• 6) When everyone has checked in, notify the tournament director, and the starter.

The time commitment required for this job would be approximately 5 to 5 ½ hours, if the field is going off one tee only. If the field is split and some are going off the backside as well, the time commitment would be less.

This person will be arriving at the golf course on tournament day very early. A brief job description would always (there may also be additional duties assigned as needed by the tournament director) include the following;

• 1) Starters will introduce themselves to each player and the walking scorer (8-11 and 12-13 divisions only).
• 2) Distribute scorecards and let the players know the teeing order.
• 3) At the appointed tee time (do not start early), announce the tee time, the district number, golf course and the player’s name.
  1. If a player is not at the teeing ground within 5 minutes of the posted tee time, or when the starter announces the group (because of being behind the posted tee times), and not ready to play, the player is penalized two strokes for the first hole. If the player, after 5 minutes is a NO SHOW, the player is Disqualified. Note on the player’s scorecard, NS and return the scorecard to the scoreboard after starting all of the players.
• 4) Note tee time on pairing sheet if group starts later then their printed tee time.
• 5) After teeing all players, place pairing sheet at the scoring table of their tee’s concluding 18th hole.  Example, if starting on number one, put pairing sheet at attesting table for hole number 18.  This assumes there are two scoring tables.

The time commitment required for this job would be approximately 5 to 5 ½ hours, if the field is going off one tee only. If the field is split and some are going off the backside as well, the time commitment would be less.

Post scores neatly and accurately to the scoreboard AFTER the scores have been entered into the computer.

Scoring at our events is done two ways. Electronically via BlueGolf and the old fashioned way – on a beautiful scoreboard!

Check with Tournament Director before posting any WD, NS, or DQ.

Duties of a spotter:

1. a) Locate each player’s ball
