| PURPOSE
OF THE CLARKSVILLE JUNIOR GOLF TOUR |
The CJGT was created to allow the young players of our region to
play in events at area golf courses, to develop and improve
their golfing skills, to encourage friendships between players,
to learn the rules and etiquette of the game, and to develop
a love for the great game of golf.
| RULES
OF THE CLARKSVILLE JUNIOR GOLF TOUR |
1.
All players must attend the Rules and Etiquette Seminar and/or
pass the written exam for the TOUR prior to playing in any TOUR
event.
2. Players will show respect for property and for each other,
and all players will display good sportsmanship.
3. Any player who displays anger by throwing equipment, endangering
others, or uses foul language will be expelled from
the TOUR.
4. Play will be conducted by the USGA Rules of Golf.
The ball is played as it lies.
5. The use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs by any player will result
in expulsion from the TOUR.
6. Soft spikes are mandatory. Traditional steel spiked
golf shoes are not allowed. Collared shirts are to be worn at
all CJGT events.
7. The CJGT Committee is the final word in all decisions
relating to the TOUR.
Players
must be 8 years of age, and not older than 18 years of age,
as of June 7, 2009 to be eligible to play on the TOUR. Competition
is based on skill level rather than age, so that all players
are encouraged to play their best at all times. The girls will
play against other girls of any age and will not, therefore,
compete head to head with boys. Girls and boys may, however,
be paired together in groups. Players will furnish their own
equipment, but the TOUR will try to help in equipment location
and donation on an as-needed basis. Short shorts and T-shirts
are not allowed. Players must carry their own bags or use a
pull cart.
There will be a total of four competitive TOUR events. All events
will consist of from 3 to 18 holes depending upon skill level.
Players will compete in DIVISIONS based on scoring, and winners
will be determined by a points system based upon the players'
best finishes in three events. Players will get one point for
each event contested. Maximum additional points are ten (10)
for each event. If a player finishes first, or tied for first,
in an event he will receive a total of eleven (11) points for
that event. If he finishes tenth, or tied for tenth, he gets
one additional point or a total of two (2) points for the event.
Weekly division winners will be awarded trophies and TOUR division
winners will be awarded trophies and merchandise. ALL PLAYERS
will be awarded prizes and LUNCH IS PROVIDED for all contestants
at each event.

allowed to compete until a parent or guardian has signed the
appropriate entry form!

and other interested parties are encouraged to come watch our
players. The TOUR does, however, reserve the right to ask spectators
to observe rules of good behavior, and we may ask a disruptive
spectator to leave the golf course.The Tour wishes
to promote the game of golf and the development of each participant
and to share the pride we all have in our children. Parents
are not to coach their children during an event.
The
TOUR thanks the children for playing in our events. We thank
the PGA professionals and other personnel at all of the golf
courses on the TOUR. Thanks go to the many volunteers crucial
to the success of the TOUR.Thanks also to the multitude of
corporate and individual sponsors for their donations. A special
