The Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation encourages spectators and parents to attend NTPGA Junior Tour events. However, the Foundation requires all spectators and parents to conduct themselves appropriately at all times.
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 only. Giving players advice is not permitted.
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 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 Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation reserves the right to suspend and/or ban any spectator from one or more events. 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. |
