JUNIORS:

 

• Golf is a self regulating game. We ask you to play fairly and honestly within the rules of golf. To be respectful of others, prompt and well organised.

 

• Dress appropriately – Each club will have their own dress rules but most apply the following: NO denim, football/rugby tops, clothing with big banner advertising, jeans, cargo pants or track/gym clothing. No hats in the clubhouse. Shorts must be knee length and smart.

 

• Club throwing, abuse and foul language will not be tolerated and will incur a penalty.

 

• You must adhere to necessary instructions given to you in respect of your golf and safety.

 

• Ensure you know the format of each competition and ensure you know the difference between Stableford and Medal/Strokeplay.

 

• It is the responsibility of every player to accurately record their own score plus that of the player whose card they are marking.

 

• Players are not permitted to ride on motorised buggies unless supported by a doctors note.

 

• If you are unsure of a ruling whilst out on the course then play 2 balls – mark both scores and we will resolve the issue after completion of the round.

 

• Do NOT sign your own scorecard until you are 100% happy that your score is correct. Ensure you check everything with your scorer first and speak to us about anything you are unhappy about before you sign.

 

 

PARENTS/GUARDIANS

 

We understand it is our responsibility to safeguard all Juniors and young people in our temporary care but we ask you to help us keep your child safe and ensure they have a pleasant golfing experience by following our rules set out below:

​

Very Important:     For the safety of your Juniors All Parents must provide to us emergency contact details for yourself and your child's Doctor and must complete the form in this respect when requested to do so by us. This is so that we can ensure medical assistance can reach your child quickly in an emergency. Your Junior will not be allowed to play without providing these details.

​

• All juniors under the age of 12 must have an adult with them (England Golf states an adult to be over the age of 16).

 

• We ask you to keep your distance from the players. You may walk alongside but kindly keep off Fairways and Greens. (Please do not walk behind due to safety)

 

• You must NOT mark any scorecards, this must be left to the players. If you feel this will present any problems please speak to the Organiser of the day in good time before play commences.

 

• Unless otherwise stated Caddies are NOT permitted. No pushing of buggies, carrying of clubs or personal advice on club selection or play of any kind.

      (Range finders etc. are allowed for use by the player)

 

• If you incur any problems please speak to us either during the competition/match, if appropriate or directly after play has finished.

 

• Please be punctual in dropping your Juniors off to play and also in collecting them. It is very important you contact us immediately if you incur problems which may make you late for your tee time (Ensure you have our contact number)

 

• Ensure your Junior knows who is picking them up and that they do not leave with any other adult or player.

 

• No Junior is to leave the Golf Course or Venue without speaking to one of us first. If they do so it will incur a penalty, possibly disqualification, as we cannot have Juniors simply disappearing off under our care.

 

• When dropping your Junior off please ensure you register them in with us first when you will be asked for an emergency contact number.

 

• Ensure you make us aware of any allergies or medical issues your junior has or any medication they have with them and will need to take.

 

• Ensure that your Junior has sufficient money for food and drink for the day – remember that clubs do not allow them to bring their own food and drink into the clubhouse.

 

• It is your responsibility to ensure your Junior and their equipment is covered by insurance if appropriate.

 

 

 

PENALTIES:

 

If Juniors breach any of the Fylde Junior Society Rules then penalties may be incurred as follows :

 

• Misconducts will be dealt with on the day with a possible ban from the next event;

 

• A penalty or disqualification “may” be administered according to the severity of the breach;

 

• Any parent issues could possibly result in a ban for the Junior from a future competition.
