Junior Golf Program

The information contained in this pamphlet is designed to keep parents and children informed about the 2008 Junior Golf Program.  It is important to read through all the information in order to be included in all the events that will take place this summer.

Eligibility:  The program is open to all children or grandchildren of current BECC members.  The minimum age to begin the program is 5 years and the maximum age is 17.

Equipment:  We encourage all juniors to have their own equipment for junior golf days and not to borrow from other juniors.  All juniors are responsible for carrying their own clubs while on the course or using an appropriate pull cart.

Dress Code:  All juniors must wear appropriate golf attire while participating in junior golf.  Boys must wear collars, no cut off shorts, no tank tops, no tee shirts and have smooth soled shoes (tennis type) or golf shoes with non-metal spikes.  Girls are not required to wear collars, no cut off shorts, no tank tops, and must have smooth soled shoes or golf shoes with non-metal spikes.

Daily Scoring:  All juniors will be required to turn in a scorecard immediately upon finishing their round of golf on Friday.  Scorecards must have the name and completely added score and must account for all shots taken while playing.

Rules

1. Safety is important for everyone.  Nobody should swing a club when we are in a group talking about our lesson.  Always make sure you are clear of everyone before you swing your golf club.  Never get behind or in front of someone.
2. Everyone is expected to listen and behave.  Anyone who does not behave will be asked to sit down for 5 minutes and if the behavior continues the individual may be asked to sit out for the day.
3. When playing on the course, always replace divots and repair ball marks on greens.  Be quiet when others are hitting.  Absolutely no throwing of golf clubs. 
4. All garbage and trash must be put in the proper containers!
5. Keep accurate and honest scores, yours and others.  FALSE SCORES HURT YOU, NOT OTHERS!
6. Learn the game, have fun, and respect your playing partners.
7. GOLF FOREVER, HOMEWORK WHENEVER!
