Junior golfers are
responsible for their golf equipment. Never leave your clubs unattended.
If you have to go into the clubhouse, have a friend watch your clubs until you
return. If you think someone is not part of the JGA, tell a JGA official. Be
extra careful around the scoreboard and during rain delays where there are a lot
of people in one area. Be aware of your surroundings.
LOST & FOUND
If you find a club left on
the course, please turn it in at the scoreboard.
A list of found equipment
will be posted at the scoreboard.
TROPHIES
The trophies are what
each player should be playing for. Their cost represents a substantial dollar
investment by the JGA. All trophies must be claimed the day of the
tournament. We hope you will stay until your flight has completed play and the
trophies presented to each winner. If you are unable to stay, make arrangements
with a friend to accept the trophy on your behalf. Trophies will not be held over to claim at a later date.

Junior Golf Association of Broward County, Inc.
The Junior Golf Association of
Broward County, Inc. (A Non-Profit Corporation), and referred to as the “JGA”,
incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida, is an organization
exempt from Federal tax under section 501(c)(3), for the purpose of providing
educational and suitable environment for young golfers of both sexes between the
ages of 8 through 18 so as to prepare them to become better citizens of our
community; to promote and to provide properly officiated seminars and
tournaments where the rules and etiquette of golf shall be taught to and
promulgated by these youths; to promote an educational program to youth
providing an outlet of healthy activities and training under good leadership and
an attitude of wholesome community participation; to educate boys and girls to
become good and decent citizens and to inspire them with a goal in life, and
through education and instruction, to enrich their lives for the day when they
must take their place in society; to instill in them through education and
instruction, the rudiments of teamwork and fair play.
The JGA is dedicated to
providing a drug, alcohol, and tobacco free competitive golf environment for all
junior golfers living in Broward County, Florida. Through the JGA program, boys
and girls learn the rules and etiquette of golf, compete with other junior
golfers having similar abilities, and learn to exercise good sportsmanship, make
lasting friendships, and grow with the community. The JGA is especially proud
of the many juniors who have attended college on golf scholarships and those who
have gone on to play at the professional level
Over the years many dedicated
people have contributed to the success of this program. Without these dedicated
volunteers the program could not continue. Nine people are elected to
serve on the Board of Directors and manage the organization. From those members, a
President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer are elected as the officers
of the organization.
With the help of approximately sixty dedicated volunteers each week, the JGA conducts
seven, one day, stroke-play tournaments and one, three-day, stroke-play
Championship. Each tournament day is played on a different course. Tournaments are held at
public courses, resorts, and private clubs throughout Broward County each Monday
during June, and July. Depending on a players golfing ability, they
participate in one of twelve divisions and play rounds of 3, 5, 9 or 18 holes.
Trophies are presented to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place finishers in each flight. See Moving Up in Division for player division
advancement.

MOVING
UP IN DIVISION RULE
Boys
Divisions:
Players
returning for the 2009 season will begin play in the same division in which they
finished playing in 2008, except for players moving up in division because of
their finish in the JGA Championship. The tournament committee will assign new
members to a division. New members will not be assigned to Boys
Championship. New members' play will be monitored and division adjustments
will be made accordingly.
The
tournament winner, second place, and
all second place ties will move up to the next division level. A playoff between
players tied for 1st Place will be conducted to determine
the first place winner. Ties for the second or third place trophy will be decided
by
a match of cards beginning with the last hole the division played, going back
until a winner is determined.
Any player eligible to move
up after the last weekly tournament of the season will have the option of
staying in their current division for the JGA Championship or moving up. If they
stay in their current division for the JGA Championship they will move up the
following
season to the division they obtained in the last weekly tournament of the season,
regardless of their finish in the JGA Championship.
Players in the Boys
Championship division must score 90 or below to remain in the Championship
Division. All players must be
competitive in their division to remain in that division. The Executive Director
will make the decision on a player's ability to remain in their current
division.
PLAYERS REQUESTING TO REMAIN IN A DIVISION, OR THOSE MOVED BACK TO A LOWER
DIVISION FOR ANY REASON, ARE
NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN TROPHIES AND MUST WIN THEIR WAY BACK TO THE NEXT DIVISION
LEVEL.
Girls
Divisions:
Players
returning for the 2009 season will begin play in the same division in which they
finished playing in 2008, except for players moving up in division because of
their finish in the JGA Championship. The tournament committee will assign new
members to a division. New members' play will be monitored and division
adjustments will be made accordingly.
A player must win in the same division three times before they can move up to
the next division level. A playoff between players tied for 1st Place will be
conducted to determine the first place winner. Ties for the second or third
place trophy will be decided by a match of cards beginning with the last hole
the division played, going back until a winner is determined.
A player, who ties for first place but finishes second or third as the result of
a playoff or match of cards, will be considered to have finished second or third
for the purpose of moving up in division.
Any player eligible to move
up after the last weekly tournament of the season will have the option of
staying in their current division for the JGA Championship or moving up. If they
stay in their current division for the JGA Championship they will move up next
season to the division they obtained in the last weekly tournament of the season,
regardless of their finish in the JGA Championship.
All players must be competitive in their division to
remain in that division. Players must shoot 99 or better to remain in the Girls
Championship Division. The Board of Directors will make the decision on a

TROPHIES BUT MAY WIN THEIR WAY BACK TO THE NEXT DIVISION LEVEL.
PLAYING &
SPECTATOR RULES
1.
JGA events are played under
USGA Rules of Golf and
local rules specified in the JGA
Handbook or at the tournament.
2
2.
Spectators
may rent golf carts at the discretion of the host facility. Cart rental and
price are
controlled by the host facility, not by the JGA.
The following rules govern the use of carts and are in addition to those of the
host facility:
a. No
player shall sit or ride in a golf cart unless authorized to do so by a JGA Official
except
during a course evacuation.
b.
Carts must be operated in a safe manner at all times and must remain on the
cart paths
and approved areas at ALL times.
c.
Carts may only move forward (from tee to green) except in the case of a course
evacuation.
Avoid situations where the cart must be placed in reverse.
d.
Carts must not move while competitors are playing a stroke.
e.
Carts are not to be driven near or onto the banks of the greens.
f.
Only two (2) people are allowed to ride in a cart except during a course
evacuation. Under no
circumstance is ANYONE to stand or ride on the back of a cart.
g.
Carts are to be returned to the cart area immediately upon
returning to the clubhouse area. They are not to be parked around
the scoring area or left
at the scoring area.
People leaving carts outside of the cart
return area will not be permitted to rent carts in the future.
h.
Spectator carts will be used to assist with a course evacuation of all
players and spectators.
If necessary, carts may leave the cart paths
during a course evacuation.
i. Spectators violating any of the above will be asked to
leave the course immediately and
will not be allowed to rent carts at future events. Violators will not
receive any form of
refund or credit on the cart rental.
3. The JGA Board of Directors
want the tournaments to be enjoyable experiences for the
junior golfers and spectators, alike, so we ask that you help by adhering to the following
rules:
a. Spectators must remain on the cart paths or
in the rough (when cart paths are not
available) at all times.
b. Spectators are not permitted on the fairways
with the players AND must keep at least 30
yards from all players, once play has begun.
c. Spectators are expected to adhere to the JGA
Code of Conduct, including the Dress Code.
d. Spectators are “observers”
only and may not communicate in any manner with the players
during
competition; interfere with any JGA Official performing
their duties; or interfere
with the assigned scorekeepers.
e. Spectators may assist in the search for a
player’s ball in order to help speed play.
f. Positively no coaching or
caddying is permitted.
g. The penalty for a player
receiving advice from a spectator is two (2) strokes and the
penalty is added to
the score of the hole where the violation occurred
[USGA Rules of Golf:
Rule 8.1]. A second violation of this rule will result in
the player receiving an additional two
(2)-stroke penalty and the spectator being asked to leave
the course.
h. Spectators that violate any JGA Rule, such as the “30-yard rule”,
subject the player to a
“non-golf” breach of the rules penalty. Players in violation of a JGA Rule (non-golf rule)
will be
suspended and the player and spectators must leave the course [USGA 2006
Decisions on the Rules of Golf: Decision US 33-8/101]. Players suspended or
disqualified
from a tournament for any reason are not eligible for the
following tournament. The
offending spectators will not be allowed to attend
another tournament the remainder of
the season.
NOTE: Compliance with
these rules is the responsibility of both the spectator and the player, though
it is the player who will receive the penalty.
A good rule of thumb is “ no
conversations with the players once play has started other than words of
encouragement”. This will help to avoid any appearance of providing assistance.
PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS
ARE
STRICTLY
PROHIBITED FROM SMOKING OR
USING CELL PHONES ON THE GOLF COURSE DURING THE COMPETITION
4. If a competitor is doubtful of
his rights or the correct procedure during the play of a hole he may, without
penalty, complete the hole with two balls. The competitor must announce his
intentions to his marker (scorekeeper) or fellow-competitor that he intends to
play two balls and which ball he wishes to count if the Rules permit. If he
fails to do so, the provisions of Rule 3-3 (ii) apply. The competitor must
report the facts of the situation to a JGA Rules Official at the scoreboard prior
to signing and submitting the scorecard. If he fails to do so, he is
disqualified. (USGA Rules of Golf 3-3)
5. The player whose ball is closest to
the hole shall tend the flagstick for the other players. The first player to
chip or putt the ball inside of the ball belonging to the person attending the
flagstick, shall mark his or her ball, and will the tend the flagstick for the
rest of the players. Continuous putting is optional, providing the player will
not be standing in the line of a putt of a playing partner. Note: The flagstick
may be placed just off the putting surface when all players do not require it.
The first player to hole their ball shall pick up the flagstick and replace it
carefully in the hole as soon as the last player has holed out. All players,
scorekeepers and spectators are to leave the green immediately so as not to
delay play.
6. Players are to place their golf bag
in a position towards the tee of the next hole of play, taking care as to not
placing it on the putting surface of the green.
7. On the putting green, the ball
should be marked with a ball marker or small coin by placing behind the ball in
a line to the pin. Do not use other objects such as a tee (USGA Rule # 20).
8. Each player is responsible for placing an
identifying mark on their ball in a way that allows it to be identified as
theirs. If you cannot identify your ball as yours, it is considered a lost ball.
(USGA Rule # 27)
9. Players
MUST confirm their score after each hole
with the player keeping their scorecard. All the players in the playing group (and the scorekeeper if applicable) must be
present when submitting the scorecards to the scoring table.
If you do
not agree with your score, consult a JGA Official BEFORE signing and
submitting your scorecard.
10. Parents are REQUIRED
to assist the
JGA, in a
capacity to be determined by the JGA, two
times during the first seven tournaments, and one time during the Championship if
you
have a child in the Championship. Parents assigned to scorekeeping are permitted to score
for their own children. Every effort will be made to assign parents completing the assisting
requirement on the date they selected on the signup form. Failure to assist the JGA as
required will
result in the junior not being allowed to participate in the JGA Championship
and the 2010 program. Note:
It may be necessary to ask you to assist more than twice
and hope you will be understanding.
11. All junior golfers must carry their own
equipment, however, use of your own pull cart is
permitted if allowed by the
host facility. Players using a pull cart
agree, that in the event
of a course evacuation, to remove their bag from the
cart and that the cart will be left on
the course. The cart may be retrieved
by the player once it is safe to do so.
The JGA, its Officers, and Directors
cannot be held responsible for missing or broken carts left on the course.
NOTE: A notice will be placed in the "NOTES" section of the tournament Info on the
BlueGolf tournament page if a host facility
will not allow pull carts.
12.
Local Rule for every tournament:
Practice of any stroke between holes is prohibited for
reasons of safety and speed of play. Stones may be removed from bunkers (sand traps) if
they present
a safety hazard.
13. Local Rule for 3 & 5 hole
divisions:
a. A penalty of one stroke will be added to the
score for a ball hit “out of bounds” or for a
“lost ball”. In both situations, a ball is to be dropped closest to where the ball crossed the
boundary line or where the ball is believed to be lost.
b. The maximum number of strokes for a bunker
(sand trap) is three strokes. After the third
attempt to get out of a
bunker, the ball is to be placed to the left or right of the bunker,
whichever gives the player a clear shot. A one-stroke penalty is to be added
to the score
on the hole for placing the ball.
c. The maximum number of balls hit into a water
hazard by a player is three. After the third
ball is hit into the water, a
ball is to be placed to the left or right side of the hazard;
whichever
gives the player a clear shot. A one-stroke penalty is to be added to the
score
on the hole for placing the ball.
d.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STROKES
PER HOLE for 3-Hole division is eight (8). This includes
penalty strokes.
14. LOCAL RULE for Girls 9 hole division: The MAXIMUM number of strokes to be taken on a
hole is twice par. The player
MUST pick up their ball when they reach "twice par" and their
score is to be recorded as 6x,
8x, or 10x.
15. DISTANCE-MEASURING DEVICES: Local Rule for every tournament:
For all play in a JGA sponsored and
conducted tournament, a player may obtain distance
information by using a device that measures distance only. However, if, during a
stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to
gauge or
measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind-speed,
temperature, etc.) the player is in
breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is
disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional
functions are actually used.
The use
of a distance-measuring device that is capable of gauging or measuring
other
conditions that might affect play, even if such a function is not used, is prohibited. For
example,
if a golfer uses a distance-measuring device that also has a compass and factors
in changes in elevation, that golfer
would be disqualified even if he or she uses the device
solely for distance information and does not use the compass or
elevation-change
information.
16. LATE FOR STARTING
TIME: Any player who is late reporting to the Starter of his or
her division will be penalized two
strokes. The two-stroke penalty will be added to the player’s score on the first hole. If the
entire division has completed teeing off, the player will be
disqualified from the tournament.
17. Note: Players disqualified from a
tournament for any reason are not eligible for the following tournament.
PACE
OF PLAY
1.
UNDUE DELAY: A player shall be subject to
penalty if he/she unduly delays play. A standard rate of time for an eighteen hole round is 4 hours &
30
minutes (15 minutes per hole). The time you are to complete the play of a hole
is marked on each scorecard. Any group that is out of position and over the time
allowed for their position on the course will receive a two-stroke penalty.
There will not be any warning prior to the penalty. You are automatically
on the clock when you tee off. Players must catch up and regain their
proper position on the course. Players will not be transported to catch up.
SLOW PLAY TIMING PROCEDURES:
Players will have 40 seconds to play their shot. It is reasonable for a
player to have a few extra seconds for trouble shots. The player with the honor
on the tee has an additional 10 seconds for preparation. Timing commences for
the next player when the previous player has struck the ball. On the putting
green, the 40 seconds commences when the player who putted either marks or holes
his ball.
FIRST VIOLATION -
Two Stroke
Penalty - Any player who exceeds 40
seconds when it is clearly their turn to play (50 seconds for the player with
the honor) will be given a warning.
SECOND VIOLATION - Disqualification
USE OF iPOD, MP3,
CELL PHONE, ETC.
The use of the above items during play will result in the
player being DISQUALIFIED.

course property immediately.
Continued violations will
result in dismissal from the JGA program and subject to the review of the Board
of Directors. No refunds will be given for anyone dismissed from the program.
EMERGENCY WEATHER PROCEDURE
When potentially dangerous weather is in the area a horn will sound one long
blast. All players are required to immediately mark the position of
their ball [it is suggested a golf tee be used] and seek
the nearest shelter from the threatening conditions.
When it is determined the
conditions no longer exist and play is to resume, a horn will sound two short
blasts. Players are to proceed to the previously marked ball
position, replace their ball, and continue play.
The JGA uses two lightning
detectors and a lightning detection service to monitor dangerous weather conditions. There are times
when lightning is in the area but may not be visible to the eye. Once play has
been suspended, seek shelter immediately; JGA volunteers and spectators
who have rented carts will transport the junior golfers to the
clubhouse as soon as possible. Spectators will then be transported.
Once play has been suspended,
ALL PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS ARE TO REMAIN INSIDE THE SHELTERED AREAS. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES ARE PLAYERS TO USE ANY OF THE PRACTICE FACILITIES. [DRIVING RANGE
OR PUTTING GREEN]
Violation of this rule:
Disqualification
Note: Players disqualified from a

competition among the Junior Golf Associations of Broward, Dade and Palm Beach
Counties will be conducted in July with an awards banquet following the
completion of play. Thirty players, six players in each age group except for
three players in the 11 & under, will represent their Association. Play is in
threesomes with one player from each Association. The player with the lowest
score in the threesome wins 3 points; the second lowest score wins 2 points, and
the third player wins 1 point. In case of ties, the points are divided. The
Association with the most points is the Tri-County Champion.
Boys 16 – 18 Boys 14 – 15 Boys 12 – 13
Girls 12 – 18 Boys 11 & Under Girls 11 &
Under
The team to represent the JGA of Broward County will be by invitation.
Since age groups used for this event and not the divisions used by the JGA,
consideration will be given to the scores of players in the above age groups, regardless of their JGA
division. In the event
a player who is extended an invitation is unable to compete, another player will
be extended an invitation to play. The Board of Directors will make the
determination of player invitations.
