PARENT
& SPECTATOR POLICY
The Florida State Golf Association and the FJT takes great pride
in the conduct of its players and the relationships that it has with the golf
clubs in
Ladies and Gentlemen Our players, their parents, friends and relatives are expected to act as ladies and gentlemen at all FJT events including practice rounds, competitive rounds, dinners and other functions.
Spectators must observe the same golf etiquette and respect to the golf course, facilities, and policies of the host club as the players.
Spectator Privileges Watching an FJT event as a spectator is a privilege. Whether you are a parent or a friend of a player, your spectator privileges may be suspended if you fail to follow the spectator guidelines.
PARENT AND SPECTATOR POLICIES
Dress Code All family members and spectators should dress in appropriate golf attire or clothing of a similar nature. Blue jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, short-shorts, flip-flops and other overly casual attire should NOT be worn at any FJT function. Gentlemen should remove hats when entering the clubhouse, pro shop or grill.
Cell Phones Cell phones are NOT permitted to be used. Please turn off all electronic devises or set their alert mode to silent. Calls may be returned at the clubhouse by cell phone at a later time. (if the club permits)
General Conduct Your child or friend is attempting to play top-level competitive golf and this is NOT the time for any coaching. Quietly follow your player without attempting to speak to them and keep your expressions of joy and/or disappointment to an absolute minimum. Please do not embarrass your child in front of other players and spectators. Smoking should be kept at a minimum at all events - cigarette butts look horrible on the golf course and smoking sets a poor example for the kids - enjoy the fresh air and exercise!
Advice (Violation of the advice rule will lead to a two-shot
penalty for the player involved)
How to Follow Your Group (Where you should stand & walk)
Spectator Cart Policy (Failure to follow these policies can result in your cart being taken away at any time and may result in your privileges being suspended for future events)
Appreciation of Club Staff and Officials It is appropriate to express your appreciation to the host club, its staff and the FJT officials conducting the event. Please recognize that your actions may influence the future ability of other junior golf organizations to use the club and it is your responsibility to be a gracious ambassador of junior golf. Set a great example for your child and all the people present:
Penalties In the case of advice, the appropriate penalty, typically two-strokes, will be applied to the player.
Spectators and/or Parents who violate any of the spectator policies above may be barred from the course for the current round or event and repeated violations may result in the suspension of a parent's spectator privileges.
