CODE OF CONDUCT
Conducting competitive junior golf tournaments
is a goal of The Junior Golf Association of Mobile (JGAM). The JGAM
will administer the Jimmy Green Junior Golf Tour at various golf
courses in the metropolitan Mobile area during the summer season.
The JGAM takes great pride in the quality of its players, its host
facilities and the volunteer involvement at each tournament.
In order to continue to make JGAM tournaments enjoyable
for everyone, the Association requires all of its members to adhere
to a set of guidelines known as the Code of Conduct. The Code of
Conduct's purpose is to help all JGAM participants grow and mature
by understanding and accepting the consequences of their actions.
The Code of Conduct is a guideline for participants to follow, both
on and off the golf course.
1. Violations of the Code of Conduct on the golf
course include: Abusive language, club throwing, cheating, disrespect
of volunteers or officials, abuse of the course, smoking or chewing
tobacco products, use of drugs or alcohol, not adhering to the dress
code during tournament play, leaving the course during the competitive
round without permission of a tournament official, or any other
conduct not becoming of a JGAM member.
Note: The JGAM Tournament Director, Host Professional
and his committee may assess a one-stroke penalty for unsportsmanlike
behavior on the golf course.
2. Actions that are considered violations of the
Code of Conduct off the golf course, but while at the host facility,
include: Any use of or association with drugs or alcohol, smoking
or chewing tobacco products, vandalism at the host facilities, or
any other conduct not becoming of a JGAM member.
3. Proper attire is required at all times at the
golf facility and failure to comply may result in disqualification.
The dress code prohibits short shorts, tank tops, T-shirts, denim
shorts and jeans. Additionally, all hats must be worn properly,
collared shirts (for boys) must be worn and all shirts must be tucked
in.
4. The JGAM Tournament Committee may assess any
or all of the following penalties based on the severity of the Code
of Conduct violation:
a. Issue a written letter of warning to the player and his or her
parents/guardians.
b. Disqualify the player from the tournament at which the violation
occurs.
c. Disqualify the player from the next tournament(s) for which he
or she has been accepted.
d. Suspend the player's membership indefinitely.
In the event of a suspension, both the player
and parent will be required to submit a written account of the Code
of Conduct violation to the JGAM Tournament Committee within 30
days of the suspension. The Committee will review all submitted
materials, including the Tournament Director and host professional's
account of the violation, then determine the length of the suspension.
Any player whose membership is under suspension will not be eligible
for post-season awards.
