Policies and Guidelines
Welcome to the Callaway Junior Tour:
The goal of the West Virginia Golf Association and the Professional Golfers Association is to insure that all WVGA tournaments and events are pleasurable and rewarding for all participants, spectators, club staff and volunteers who assist in organizing the events. In keeping with the tradition and spirit of the game of golf, the West Virginia Golf Association and the West Virginia Professional Golfers Association requires all Junior Golfers at its events to adhere to the West Virginia Golf Association Junior Code of Conduct. The Junior Code of Conduct is a policy that players are expected to follow while participating in our Tournaments and events. The WVGA and the WVPGA has prided itself on treating tournament participants as young adults. Our interest is not only to help junior golfers improve their game, but also to help them grow and mature. The Junior Code of Conduct is not intended to scare players, but to have junior golfers understand the consequences of their actions.
