The NENY PGA would like to demonstrate its support of junior golf throughout Northeastern New York and the Berkshire County of Massachusetts by conducting a series of golf tournaments within our section from June-August. Emphasis is placed on the development of the unseasoned or new competitor. The atmosphere will be professional yet affordable and competitive but most of all educational and fun. It is our belief that there are many junior golfers ready to move forward to tournament golf with hopes of generating a lifetime interest in the game. EligibilityEligibilityEligibilityEligibility Northeastern New York PGA Junior Golf Tour is open to any junior golfer, boy or girl, from 8 years of age to 18 years of age that resides within the boundaries during the season of the NENY PGA Section and is a member of the Junior Golf Association. Once a junior has reached his/her 19th birthday, the junior will no longer be eligible to be a member of the NENY PGA Junior Golf Association. There is no handicap maximum but players should be able to break a score of 60 for 9 holes and keep up with the required pace of play. Entries are subject to rejection at any time by the Northeastern New York PGA Junior Golf Tour administrators. RegistrationRegistrationRegistrationRegistration Players can register for a tournament by going to the section web site at www.neny.pga.com and clicking on the “Junior Golf” link within the navigational tool on the left of the web site. Players should then click on the “Junior Event” link, then select the tournament name they are interested in. At this page, you can click on the “Register Now” button for your appropriate age division and register with your customer ID # and last name. Players must be members of the NENY PGA Junior Golf Association to register for an event. Entry fees for the tournaments will be $50 per event for boys and girls 13-18 (play 18 holes) and $40 per event for boys and girls 8-12 (play 9-holes). For paper entries, a $5.00 fee will be added to each tournament event registration. The deadline to cancel from the event and still receive a refund is five days prior to the event. Please see the refund policy for more information. No shows could be denied participation from future events at any other NENY PGA JGT event during the season. Call the section office for late cancellations. There will be no refunds for rainouts once play has begun for all players in an age group. Every attempt will be made to finish the event. Starting Times will be available at the section web site 2-3 days prior to the event. All tournament entries are inclusive of golf fees, range fees and lunch. Tournament Rules & RegulationsTournament Rules & RegulationsTournament Rules & RegulationsTournament Rules & Regulations The lasting lessons learned as a result of participating in NENY PGA Junior Golf Tour events are the positive values, such as honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship inherent in the game of golf. For this reason the Northeastern New York PGA has established the following set of Tournament Rules & Regulations that all junior players are expected to follow. Tournaments are played at scratch, which means with no handicaps. Play is conducted in accordance with the United States Golf Association Rules of Golf and the JGT Tournament Rules & Regulations as printed in the handbook. It is the responsibility of the participant to familiarize oneself with the USGA Rules of Golf and the JGT Tournament Rules & Regulations, as ignorance of the rules is no excuse for breaking them. For any questions on the Rules of Golf, consult with your local PGA Professional or call the United States Golf Association at (800) 336-4446. Responsibilities of PlayResponsibilities of PlayResponsibilities of PlayResponsibilities of Play • USGA Rules of Golf plus Local Rules supplied on the day of the event shall govern play. • Players will be required to walk and carry their own clubs/equipment or use a pull cart in the two oldest age divisions.

Players in ANY age division will be permitted to use a pull cart. There will be no caddies allowed at any of the events. • Littering will not be tolerated. Anyone observed littering may be disqualified from that particular event, and could have his/her future tournament privileges suspended for a longer period of time. • Golf etiquette is a very important consideration and members, parents, and spectators are expected to behave in accordance with the rules. Players must be careful not to damage greens when putting down golf bags, removing or replacing the flagstick, or with their shoes or golf clubs. Players are responsible for replacing divots, repairing ball marks, and raking bunkers.

• Pace of Play: Players should attempt to play at a four (4) hour 12 minute pace for 18 holes. That works out to be 14 minutes per hole. Players should always be ready to play when it is their turn to ensure that their group maintains its position with the group in front. Groups that fall behind the group in front of them by one hole and are behind their allotted 14 minutes per hole will be subject to penalty and/or disqualification. First violation will be a warning, second violation is a one (1) stroke penalty, third violation is two (2) stroke penalty, and fourth violation is disqualification. • Spectators and parents should always conduct themselves as ladies and gentleman while at the tournament site. Spectators and parents are the guests of the host facilities. The section will adhere to the host facility’s spectator policy. Any intervention of spectators or parents will cause the participant a two-stroke penalty. First occurrence will result in a warning; all further occurrences will result in a two-stroke penalty.

Keeping ScoreKeeping ScoreKeeping ScoreKeeping Score All participants should become familiar with USGA Rule 6 (The Player) relative to keeping score as well as the definition of a marker. After the completion of each hole the marker should ask the player what he/she scored on the hole and write that score down on the scorecard. At the end of the round the marker must sign the scorecard and give it to the player, who must check the score for each hole, sign the scorecard, and return the scorecard to the scoring table as soon as possible. Any . Any . Any . Any discrepancies need to be discussed right after the hole or at the scoring table.

If a player signs for a score that is higher than actually made on a hole, that score will stand. If a player signs for a score on a hole that is lower than actually made, then that player shall be disqualified from the tournament. A player should also keep one’s score to ensure the accuracy of the official hole-by-hole scores the marker recorded. Two signatures are required for each scorecard. For any player that submits a scorecard with less than two signatures will be disqualified. We will provide the youngest age division (junior’s ages 8-12) who play nine holes per event with a bead “counter”. The counter shall be used and each shot “counted” after it occurs to help the junior’s learn to keep score without the assistance of any adults and to help eliminate any confusion and interference from parents on scoring. Starting TimesStarting TimesStarting TimesStarting Times The player shall start at the time specified by the Committee (Rule 6-3). In the absence of circumstances which warrant waiving the penalty of disqualification as provided in Rule 33-7, the penalty for failure to start on time is two strokes at the first hole in stroke play, provided the player arrives at his/her starting point, ready to play, within five minutes of the starting time assigned by the committee. If the player does not arrive within five minutes of his/her starting time, he/she will be disqualified. The starting times will be published on the section website at www.neny.pga.com. Players should check-in at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled starting time. Parents and SpectatorsParents and SpectatorsParents and SpectatorsParents and Spectators Spectators and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend tournaments. The host facility reserves the right to prohibit spectators at their course (tournaments that do not allow spectators are designated on the website) and the NENY PGA Section must adhere to their host site policies. Spectators are encouraged to abide by the following rules so they do not jeopardize this privilege in the future. Under no circumstances should spectators give advice, as defined by the USGA Rules of Golf, to players in competitions. A two-stroke penalty will be given to the golfer for violation of this rule. Other guidelines include but are not limited to: • Spectators are not allowed on fairways or greens. • No spectator golf cars will be allowed • Spectators are asked to stay in the rough or golf car paths and at least fifty (50) yards away from the players. • Spectators are not allowed to give any advice to players or ask the players their score. Players may be penalized for a violation. • With the exception of helping to locate golf balls, spectators should not carry on a conversation with players in any manner from the beginning of the stipulated round until the players have returned their scorecards to the tournament committee. This action could be interpreted as advice resulting in a player being penalized. • Spectators may not carry a player’s golf bag and/or clubs. • The player is responsible for the actions of his/her parents/spectators.

Its purpose is to help players grow and mature by understanding and accepting the consequences of their actions. Any breach of the following guidelines will result in disqualification, without a refund, from the tournament where the incident occurred and may result in JGA membership suspension for the current year and possibly subsequent years. In order to make the atmosphere of the JGT pleasant to all, the following rules of conduct will be strictly enforced: • Club throwing, swearing, or general misconduct may warrant disqualification. These actions will be noted within the file of the individual(s). In the case of a disqualification, a letter will be sent to the parents explaining the action(s) of the junior. The parents will be expected to respond. • If a player continues these actions on the same day or is involved in a subsequent incident, the following procedure will be enforced. The player involved will be escorted off the golf course. The player will be disqualified from the tournament and all subsequent JGT tournaments until an appeal is heard before the Board of Inquiry. The board will decide on the severity of the incident and what action(s) will be taken. Suspension of one or more years will be considered appropriate in cases where severe misconduct is substantiated. • All appeals must be made in writing and signed by the player. CheatingCheatingCheatingCheating Cheating will not be tolerated. Any player found cheating shall be immediately disqualified from the tournament. Any JGA member found cheating a second time shall lose his/her status as a member of the JGA and all benefits associated with being a member.

Parents and spectators should not get involved in rulings unless requested by the rules committee. Accusation of Cheating: IF all members of a group make an accusation of irregularities of an individual’s score or his/her behavior on the course the following procedure will be followed: • All members of the group will be questioned that day either in person or by phone. • The accused will also be questioned that day. • The tournament director shall conduct the on site investigation and report the findings to the Board of Inquiry.
