PROGRAM STRUCTURE 

The Junior Program is open to children and grandchildren of Class A, A-2, S, and C members and children of Class B members. Other relatives may be included if space is available after registration deadline. Guests are not eligible to participate. The Committee recommends your child having completed the first grade prior to the first day of Junior Golf. All Juniors under the age of 7 may ONLY participate in the 1-hole group. Juniors age 7 and over may qualify for the 1, 3, 5, or 9-hole groups based on their scores and the opinion of their parents and the professional staff. A parent, or sub for the parent, MUST be available two times during the season for each child enrolled. It is recommended that children in the 1-hole group have a parent / adult with them EACH week. Participants will be divided into groups (1, 3, 5 & 9 holers) based on age and ability, as determined by the committee and the child's parents.

Advancement 

• Any 1-Holer shooting two scores of 12 or less may move to 3-holers. 
• Any 3-Holer shooting two scores of 27 or less may move to 5-holers. 
• Any 5-Holer that shoots two scores of 40 or less and passes the etiquette test may move to 9-holers.

JUNIOR GOLFER RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Each player must have their own set of clubs, bag, golf balls, tees, and ball markers. 
• Juniors are required to walk. Carts are not available. 
• Each player must identify the ball they are playing prior to the start of play. Golf is a game of sportsmanship and integrity. Use good manners and follow the U.S.G.A. rules of golf. 
• Take good care of the golf course. Replace divots, repair ball marks, and rake bunkers upon exiting them. Remember to leave the course in better condition than you found it so that players after you may also enjoy our fine golf course. 
• Disrespect, club throwing, and temper outbursts will not be tolerated. Offenders could face disciplinary action. Be thoughtful to others. 
• Do not talk or walk around when a member of your group is ready to play. Applaud good play and encourage those not having their best day. 
• Be ready to play when it is your turn. Play without delay and invite faster groups to play through. 
• Watch the other player's ball and help them look for lost balls. 
• Mark scores down after arriving on the next tee. Confirm scores with other playing partners. 
• Be aware of where your playing partners are at all times. Do not take practice swings when they are near you or walk ahead of their ball prior to them playing. 
• Do not play your shot until the group ahead of you is well out of reach. Do not play when you see lightning or hear thunder. 
• Evacuate the golf course or go to a shelter on the course for safety. If this is not possible seek dense woods, low lying ditches, or bunkers.

No jeans, cut-offs, tennis or short shorts are allowed to be worn.

Shorts must be no shorter than one’s own hand width above the knee cap.

No muscle shirts, tank tops, halter tops, or tee shirts are allowed. Boys must wear collared golf shirts, and they must be tucked in.

Children in violation of the dress code will not be allowed to play.

Parents are responsible for their own subs. A walker must be at least 18 years of age.

Walkers must keep track of, and record all strokes taken by juniors in their group. All whiffs must be counted. They must also sign and turn in the scorecard to the committee.

Walkers are responsible for proper etiquette, course care, and safety of the Junior golfer.

Walkers should get acquainted with the basic rules of golf. If questions arise, consult a Golf Professional.

Do not allow Junior golfers on golf carts.

A maximum of ten (10) strokes are allowed on the fairway. The ball must be picked up, placed on the edge of the green and putted. The score is recorded as 10+ putts.

Club throwing or temper outbursts will not be tolerated. Warn the Junior after the first incident. If the violation continues, report the problem to the Junior Golf Committee.

Junior Clinic Series 

While the Junior Golf Program on Fridays focuses primarily on playing the game, the Junior Clinic Series would be ideal for those juniors looking to take that next step. With more personalized instruction, smaller groups and more focused students, we can help take their game to that next level.

Instructor: Jess Lewis, Asst. Golf Pro Maximum of 10 students per session.
