The City of Fort Worth Junior Championship encourages family, friends and spectators to attend this event. However, the Foundation requires all gallery membersto conduct themselves appropriately at all times.
All spectators are to be reminded that they have no part in decision making, including but not limited to making golf rulings or golf decisions such as club selection or course of action during play. Rule 8 in the USGA Rules of Golf states, “ Advice is any counsel or suggestion which could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of club or method of making a stroke.” With this statement in mind, please keep your conversation with the player to words of encouragement as long as advice is not given.
Spectators should stay one shot ahead of the group they are following. This allows spectators to follow errant shots and help identify where the ball comes to rest. Spectators are allowed to aid in search in the search for lost golf balls. Spectators should not give rulings, please seek an NTPGA rules official, USGA rules official or the local golf professional if the need arises. Spectators should stay on cart paths. In the absence of cart paths, we ask that spectators stay in the rough. Please stay off fairways, tees and greens. Spectators are allowed to carry medicine, drinks, food umbrellas, etc. The Fort Worth Junior Golf Association and the Northern Texas PGA reserves the right to suspend and/or ban any spectator from one or more tournament sites. Failure to comply with the Rules and Regulations may result in the immediate removal from the host facility and/or suspension of playing privileges for the member. |
