Good evening everyone. Please find below a full listing of tomorrow’s tee times, pairings, yardages and flight info by player. First tee time is 1pm tomorrow and Registration will be open from 11.30pm.

We are really looking forward to seeing you all at Harbor Hills for what promises to be another great day of junior golf competition.

ALL scoring tomorrow will be via our dedicated online scoring app. Please search in your phone’s app store for HJT golf and download it. You will need to register if using for the first time. You can then search for our event by date and you will find all of the pairings are now loaded. Recording a player score is a simple process once they begin play however please talk to a member of HJT staff tomorrow if you need any assistance…and don’t forget to charge your phone! Please note that using the HJT app for scoring is a condition of this competition and no other form of scoring is acceptable. If you need help with the app prior to play please ask a member of staff for assistance in advance of play commencing.

Caddies are permitted for this event. Electronic devices which assist with yardages are also permitted for this event.

It is essential that we have a contact number for every player out on the course for safety reasons and in the event we need to message you in case of emergency or to advise of any incoming weather issues that may force you to take temporary shelter. As the weather right now can be unpredictable please be prepared for it.

We will provide water on the 1st tee. Please bring additional water and keep yourself hydrated at all times during the competition.

IMPORTANT NOTE on SCORING:

Your score is YOUR responsibility. If another member of the group you are playing with agrees to submit everyone’s scores into the app it is still YOUR responsibility to check these scores are input correctly with him/her BEFORE they are finally submitted. Often the fastest way to check is to ensure you have your own copy kept on a paper scorecard as a back-up.

All players will be grouped into age based flights and players will play from appropriate age based yardages. An HJT winner’s medal will be presented to the lowest scoring player in each flight. If necessary extra hole play-offs will be used to decide a winner and the number of holes will be advised prior to the play-off commencing. If after the agreed number has been reached if players are still tied the winning medalist will be decided by a chip-off at an agreed green side area.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PLAYER YARDAGES:

Please be advised that we set player yardages based on player age. On some occasions we are asked by player/parent or coach to increase a player’s total yardage. We fully understand that some developing players may prefer to play from further back and we are happy to support these requests as long as they are made prior to arrival on the first tee. All requests MUST be made at Player Check-In stage or earlier. Requests must be made by either Player, Parent or Coach. Under no circumstances will we consider player requests to play shorter yardages than those we have set.

On arrival at Harbor Hills CC please head to the marked “Golfer Registration” area and register your arrival with Fiona who will confirm your tee time and advise how to get your golf cart. Each player in the field tomorrow has paid in advance for a golf cart and there is no requirement to pay for any player’s cart in the pro-shop. Additional spectator carts are available to purchase via the ProShop but please note these will only be allocated to spectators AFTER players have received carts.

We have been advised this afternoon that due to their morning visitor numbers carts may not be immediately available on arrival for every player however we have been assured that they will be coming in in enough time for each of our players to get one prior to their tee time. This has been the case in the past and each time everything has worked out fine however it does require your understanding and your patience.

We have given Harbor Hills staff our tee times and we have asked that PLAYERS are issued carts in tee time order and all players receive them before any additional spectators do. If any problems do arise on the day please bring them to our attention and we will deal with them accordingly.

Players can ride either on their own (if old enough and with a valid drivers licence) or alongside a parent.

Range balls are already out for players warm up and the range is over to the right hand side of the first tee. Please make your way to the 1st tee no later than 10 minutes before your tee time to allow for a short local rules briefing and introduction to your playing partner(s)

Following play we will present winners medals in the registration area. We do always try to keep these award recognition ceremonies as brief as we can as we know many of you have travelled some way to be at our event but we, and our players, do very much appreciate when fellow players and parents take the time to attend and show your support to our medalists if possible.
