As the golf season is now in full swing, the CJGA would like to give a friendly reminder to everyone regarding our 2007 CJGA Spectator Policy. This policy can be found on the spectator badges handed out at each event, as well as on our website. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few key sections of the policy.
1)Minimum Distances & Prohibited areas: A minimum distance of 30 Yards must be maintained between the player and spectators. When cart paths are provided, spectators (walking or riding) must stay on the paths. When no cart paths are available, the outside rough will substitute for the cart path.Spectators are prohibited from the following areas: Tees, Fairways, Greens, Scoring & Starting areas, and Rules Situations
2)Communication: With the exception of asking the player if he/she would like to eat or drink at the turn or the need to deal with medical situations, NOcommunication (verbal or non-verbal) is to take place with the player.
3)Lost Golf Balls: We request that spectators assist the CJGA with pace of play by observing when and where golf balls stray. It is permissible to point to the area where the ball traveled but you are NOT authorized to assist the player in searching for the ball unless asked by a CJGA official. This opportunity is not to be utilized to have a conversation with the player and does not supercede the 30 yard minimum distance requirements.
The CJGA has initiated this policy to create a level playing field for all competitors and assist in their development as both junior golfers, and good citizens. Violation of this policy could result in dismissal from the golf course or penalty strokes to the junior golfer(s) who communicates with spectators.We thank you for your co-operation in abiding by the CJGA Spectator Policy. Please contact us if you require any further information or click here to view the complete 2007 CJGA Spectator Policy. We appreciate your help in making the 2007 golf season a successful one! Thank You,
