Code of Ethics

USGA Rules of Golf will govern play at all times. A complimentary copy of the Rules of Golf Book is part of the membership packet. All members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rules and carry the book with them at all times.

All players should conduct themselves properly at all times while at a tournament site. Remember, we are guests of the various courses and the Gainesville Junior Tour needs courses more than the courses need the GJGT. Please behave accordingly.

Golf etiquette is a very important consideration, and members are expected to behave in accordance with the rules prescribed by the GJGT. Players must be careful not to damage the course or greens when putting down golf bags, handling the flag stick or with shoes or clubs. Players are responsible for repairing their ball marks and raking bunkers.

PACE OF PLAY: USGA Rules will govern Pace of Play. A group falling behind the group in front and behind the posted time schedule will be subject to penalties.

STARTING TIMES: Players must check in at least a half-hour before their starting time and must be on the tee 10 minutes before their starting time. Introduce yourself to fellow competitors and receive your fellow competitor’s official scorecard. Keep your score in the “Markers” space of your fellow competitors card. Place an identifying mark on your ball (s).
