Code of Conduct
Our Expectations of You as a Junior Golf Member  

All Junior Golf Members must abide by these guidelines: 

·         You must behave appropriately at all times, whether on or off the course.

·         Be polite and respect everyone, adults as well as juniors.

·         Respect your surroundings, the course by replacing divots etc.

·         Remember you have as much right to be on the course as everyone else, e.g. if the group behind are approaching closely, let them play through.

·         Abide by guidelines set down by the Men’s Committee for entry into men’s competitions, for example 2 or more juniors are not permitted to play together in men’s competitions.

Health & Safety:-

·         You must take care when crossing roads while playing golf, as several holes on the Priory require crossing the main drive, and access to the Moorland course is across a public highway.

·         You need to be aware of there surroundings and position on the course, so not to endanger themselves or others. For example when you take a practice swing make sure you will not hit anyone. Beware of golf balls!

·         You must dress appropriately for playing golf.

·         Care must be taken around water hazards, do not enter the hazard to retrieve a ball etc.

·         Advisory:-The Junior Committee recommend that junior golfers use trolleys to prevent back damage caused by heavy golf bags, and also to avoid slow play.

·         We advise juniors to keep a mobile phone with them while on the golf course, however it must only be used in emergencies, and must be switched off, at all other times, so not to distract other golfers.

·         Do not play the course on you own.

--

·         If you have a problem with another member adult or junior, you must tell a Junior Organiser, as soon as possible about the problem, do not confront them yourself.

·         If you are concerned about anything do not be afraid to tell a Junior Organiser.
