with their child to learn duties of scoring. Rule decisions will not be made by parent scorers. <strong>The</strong> seminars cover<br />

each child in the group will be required.) If a parent cannot be a scorer, the parent is responsible to provide a<br />

substitute, such as a relative, friend and/or a high school age student. Please indicate on the entry form, the date<br />

available for scoring. Scorers will be provided golf carts, if available, at no charge for the Competitive 9-Hole and<br />

18-Hole Divisions. No carts will be provided for the Mini-Nine and Novice 9-Hole Divisions.<br />

Determining the Right Division<br />

Divided into four distinct ability groups, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> Junior <strong>PGA</strong> Golf Association allows players of like<br />

ability to play and compete within their own age groups. Golfers are provided the opportunity to enhance their golf<br />

skills and enjoy the game while being rewarded for both improvement and achievement. To have a positive<br />

experience, it is very important to honestly evaluate your ability and participate in the Division, which is best suited<br />

to your own game. Assignments within each Division are at the discretion of the <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Staff and may even<br />

change during the competitive season. Stroke averages refer to those obtained on a regulation-length golf course.<br />

Tee Yardage---Approximate yardage---depends on the course:<br />

9 Hole Boys and Girls – 2,500-2,800 yards (Some courses are par 3’s)<br />

18 Hole 12-13 Boys - 5,200-5,600 yards; All Girls – 4,800-5,500 yards<br />

14-15 Boys/16-18 Boys - 6,000-6,200 yards<br />

Tour All Girls – 5,800-6,000 yards; All Boys – 6,400 plus yards<br />

the program. <strong>The</strong> policies are not negotiable or flexible, and are enforced so that the <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>PGA</strong><br />

Junior Tournament Staff can run fair and organized tournaments.<br />

Schedule Changes<br />

All schedule changes must be made in writing or a direct phone call (no messages or email). Include the<br />

following: name, address, phone number, age group, tournament event number/s wishing to drop and add, and 2-3<br />

substitution choices per tournament. Submit your schedule change request, with applicable fees ($10.00 nonrefundable<br />

fee per change), to the <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Section Office. All schedule changes are dependent upon space<br />

availability.<br />

Withdrawal Policy for Tournaments (WD)<br />

In order to provide accurate and quality tournament administration, a player must withdraw from a tournament<br />

by phone or in person. E-mail messages will not be accepted. Players who withdraw in accordance with this policy<br />

will be given tournament credit, and may enter another event that still has available space and pay the $10 reschedule<br />

fee. All tournament credits remaining on July 24 for 9 Holers or July 31 for 18 Holers and Tour will be forfeited.<br />

Players who do not withdraw in accordance with this policy will forfeit their entry fee for that event. No monetary<br />

credit can be applied to the Final Championship entry fee.<br />

No-Show Policy (NS)<br />

If a player fails to withdraw from an event in accordance with the withdrawal policy, and does not play, it will<br />

be considered a no-show, a tournament credit will not be authorized. If an emergency situation causes a no-show, the<br />

<strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Staff could authorize a tournament credit.<br />

Refunds<br />

Prior to May 1, 2009 refunds are made only in the case of a medical emergency with the exception of a $75<br />

administrative fee, which is not refundable. After the May 1, 2009, no refunds are available. Failure to attend the<br />

required rules seminar will result in the forfeiture of all fees and eligibility to play.<br />

Rain Policy<br />

No rain-dates are available. If an event is cancelled due to weather, the junior MUST check the schedule for<br />

another event that is not filled, and call to enter that event at no additional charge. Credits will not be given if a 9<br />

hole event completes five holes of play or an 18 hole event completes 9 holes of play, no rescheduling will be<br />

allowed. Medals will be awarded.<br />

No Score Card Policy (NC)<br />

If a player does not turn in a score card with valid scores for the day, the player will be suspended for the next<br />

event in which he or she is registered, without refund. An NC will be posted as the player’s score. A player, who<br />

does not turn in or alters a score card, will not be eligible for the high point and low stroke average trophies and the<br />

Final Championship.<br />

Walk-On Policy<br />

Juniors may register and compete in an event as a walk-on on a first-come, first-serve basis at any regular<br />

event that does not have a full field. Payment for walk-ons must be made on site. Walk ons must be at the<br />

tournament site within one half hour of the first tee time of their respective age group and must play in their own age<br />

group for scoring purposes. It is preferable that the player calls the day or night before the scheduled event and a tee<br />

time will be given.<br />

Format of Competition<br />

All events will be stroke play competition. USGA Rules shall govern play, and any local rules announced or<br />

distributed prior to play shall be applicable. Participants may not use caddies, or motorized carts. <strong>The</strong> ball will be<br />

played as it lies, unless weather or course conditions dictate a change to be made only by the <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>PGA</strong> Junior<br />

Golf Director. All players must carry their own clubs or use a pull cart if allowed by the facility. No provisions for<br />

practice rounds have been made. Players may call the facility and practice at their own expense prior to the<br />

tournament.<br />

Tournament Pairings<br />

A participant must play with the group in which they are paired. Failure to do so will result in disqualification<br />

from the event. Tee time changes will be made only by staff to adjust for no-shows.<br />

Scoring Procedure<br />

Participants will rotate scorecards prior to the beginning of play. A junior may not keep the scorecard of the<br />

player keeping his or her own card. After each hole is completed, the participant shall announce his/her score for<br />

the marker. <strong>The</strong> marker should repeat the score to be sure it is correct. If you are unsure about a rule, play a second<br />

ball; announce which ball you will use for score if the rules of golf permit. This procedure must be reported to the<br />

scoreboard before turning in your scorecard, otherwise disqualification is the penalty. A competitor may not leave<br />

until his/her score card is accepted by a member of the tournament staff. If a problem occurs and the competitor is<br />

not present, it will result in an automatic disqualification.


Conduct of Players<br />

Inappropriate behavior by any junior, witnessed by our staff, fellow competitor, or employee of the host<br />

facility will be immediately disqualified from the current event and their next event without a refund. Inappropriate<br />

behavior could include the use of improper language, dressing in non-golf attire, throwing clubs, damaging the<br />

course, failure to repair ball marks on the greens or replace divots on the course, cheating, talking while a fellow<br />

competitor is playing a shot, knowingly violating the rules of golf, affecting play of another, overall display of poor<br />

sportsmanship, use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs.<br />

Dress Code (Members, Family, Guests and Spectators)<br />

Proper attire is required at all tournaments and rules seminars, events and/or functions. <strong>The</strong> dress code<br />

prohibits shoes with metal spikes, short shorts (finger tips must touch bottom of short or skirt), halter tops, shirts<br />

exposing mid riffs, tank tops, T-shirts, gym shorts, and all denim. (No visible body piercing is permitted; however,<br />

girls may wear earrings.) All hats must be worn properly, bill forward; collared shirts must be worn and tucked in<br />

either disqualification or the junior not being allowed to participate until he/she has met the above regulations.<br />

Spectators at private clubs must adhere to player dress code policy. If not in proper attire, spectators may not<br />

follow the golfers and must leave the facility. Private Clubs are designated on each schedule by (PC). Note<br />
