JNJG Parent and Spectator Guidelines

 

With players competing 36 Holes in one day, JNJG DOES ALLOW AND ENCOURAGE Parents to walk the course with the players and be involved as BAG PUSHERS at this event.

 

Bag Pushers are not caddies, the players don't need someone to line up every shot for them, but to help get them around 36 Holes in one day, we encourage parents to help.

 

 

For those parents not helping or acting as bag pushers, the normal Parent and Spectator Guidelines will be in play.

 

JNJG will not enforce an “exclusion zone” or ban parents and spectators from being within a certain distance of the players on the golf course, provided these rules and guidelines are followed:

 

• Parents and spectators are not to walk onto any teeing ground, in the middle of the fairway with the players, or onto the green for any reason.
• Parents and spectators must stay on the designated cart paths or walk along the tree line of a fairway to watch the players.
• Parents and spectators are encouraged to act as spotters for errant shots and can help players search for lost balls in long grasses and penalty areas.
• Parents and spectators are not to push a player’s golf bag, offer any advice or coaching throughout the round, or get involved with any rulings or scoring disputes.

 

There will be on course volunteers, tournament staff, and designated rules officials available at every event to assist and deal with any problems arising on the golf course.

 

Additionally

• Parents and spectators are not to smoke on the golf course during a JNJG event.
• Smoking is only permitted in the designated smoking areas around the clubhouse.
   
• Parents and spectators are not to drink alcohol on the golf course during a JNJG event.
• Drinking alcohol is only permitted inside the clubhouse.

 

 

Parents and spectators who are found to be crossing the clearly defined guidelines above will be given an official warning and may be asked to leave the course if the behaviour continues.
