The Junior Golfer‛s Creed
|
| Golf is a wonderful game. As a Junior Golfer, I will RESPECT and be good to the game of golf.
|
- Responsibility
I will learn the rules of golf, follow the rules of the course and take responsibility for all my actions on the course.
- Etiquette
I will abide by the rules of etiquette, awaiting the proper time to hit, refraining from foul language and boisterous behavior, and generally conducting myself as a young lady or young gentleman on the course.
- Sensitivity
I will be sensitive to the environment and the course where I play and to those who maintain and manage it.
- Pace
I will keep up with the group ahead and maintain an appropriate pace of play.
- Educate
I will do my best to educate others and myself on the principles of this creed and live up to it at every opportunity.
- Conditions
I will strive to leave the course in better condition than I find it, by fixing my ball marks (and those of others), replacing my divots, raking bunkers, and properly disposing of trash.
- Traditions
I will learn and embrace the rules and traditions of this ancient and honorable game and respect my fellow golfers and the courses we are privileged to play.
The goal of the creed is to encourage everyone to conduct themselves properly to ensure enjoyment. The intent is that all golf participants will continue to carryout the creed and use it to better the game.
