| Detail: |
The IJGA takes great pride in the quality of its players, host facilities and level of tournament experience. In order to continue making IJGA tournaments enjoyable for everyone, the IJGA requires all members to adhere to a set of guidelines known as “The Code of Conduct”. Its purpose is to help IJGA participants to truly become “Better People Through Junior Golf”. The Code of Conduct is to be followed throughout the junior’s membership.
VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF CONDUCT
Any of the following actions by an IJGA member at an IJGA event, non-IJGA event, or toward another IJGA member anywhere, constitutes a violation of the IJGA Code of Conduct:
• Unsportsmanlike conduct, including abusive language, cheating, club throwing, disrespect to volunteers, officials or fellow competitors, or abuse of golf course property
• Not adhering to the dress code at the host golf course
• Use or association with drugs or alcohol, smoking or chewing tobacco products
• Conduct not becoming of an IJGA player, such as acting in anger or creating other distractions
• Physical abuse, threat of physical abuse or verbal abuse, slander or libel towards other players, parents, coaches, sponsors, host golf course staff or members, IJGA staff or volunteers in any medium
CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATION PENALTIES
Any Code of Conduct violation may result in a written letter to the player and his or her parent/guardian. As the IJGA sees fit, this letter may be sent to any other individuals involved, host professionals, or high school/college coaches. The IJGA Tournament Committee may assess any or all of the following penalties based on severity and frequency of the violation(s).
• Verbal warning designating the specific conduct violation
• Immediate disqualification from the tournament at which the violation occurs
• Depending on the severity of the violation, a tournament disqualification may also result in disqualification from the next event(s) for which a player has been accepted
• The IJGA reserves the right to suspend or revoke a player’s membership for a major breach of the IJGA Code of Conduct
• Violation of the IJGA Code of Conduct may affect a player’s eligibility for invitationals and postseason honors
SUSPENSION INFORMATION
In the event of a suspension, the player/guardian will have the option to submit a written appeal of the Code of Conduct violation to the IJGA Executive Committee within 30 days of the suspension.
The Executive Committee will review the Tournament Committee’s initial judgment. This will include the IJGA tournament staff account of the violation, any other violations to date, along with any other pertinent information. Any player whose membership is under suspension will not be eligible for postseason honors.
CODE OF CONDUCT/MEDIA RELEASE
Membership in the IJGA signifies both the player and the parent/guardian understand and agree to adhere to the Code of Conduct. IJGA membership also signifies the player’s agreement of the use of their name and likeness for publicity and promotional purposes under NCAA and USGA guidelines.
