Spectator Conduct: 

Parents and spectators are encouraged to support their children/players on the Callaway Junior Tour. To ensure an enjoyable experience for all, conduct rules are expected to be followed.

Spectator Carts and General Conduct:

• • Spectator carts are typically available at every event. Many events will sell out of carts, so if you do not get a cart that day, please do not address the facility staff in a rude or unprofessional manner.
  • If you have an issue of any kind please let the WVGA staff member know. Courses only have so many carts at their facility so please know they will sell out almost every single event  
  • Carts MUST remain on paths at all times. If no path is available, please stay in the rough.
  • You may act as a forecaddie to spot ball locations for all players and you are encouraged to spot balls on all areas of the course.  However, we ask that you remain a reasonable distance from the player if at all possible to alleviate any allegations of coaching/caddying.
  • Personal coolers are prohibited at all tournament locations
  • Spectators must remain outside the scoring area at all times

• Players bear the responsibility of the spectator’s actions
• 1st offense – verbal warning and possible disqualification

Caddying/Coaching/Talking:  

• We do not allow parents/spectators to caddy or coach the players at any time.  This includes all players, not limited to the player being followed.
• We expect talking to be limited to providing positive reinforcement to the player, asking if they need a snack/drink, and assisting all players with ball location.
• At no time should a spectator be walking/chatting with players on any playing surface and/or pushing/carrying their golf bags.
• We appreciate parents/spectators with a knowledge of the rules of golf.  However, to prevent potential disqualifications, all rulings and interpretations are only to be given by tournament officials.

NOTE: Parents/spectators not adhering to any of the above could subject the player to penalty, including disqualification.

No-Show Policy
