IMPORTANT NOTE – USE OF CARTS:
At many of our tournaments players ARE permitted to use golf carts which can only be driven by players aged 16 and above who hold a valid license. If a cart is to be used by younger players it MUST be driven by a valid license holder ie, parent, coach etc. At this venue the cost of cart rental has not been included and payment should be made in the ProShop immediately after you have registered with us. Cart Rental cost is $25 plus sales tax.
Please note that due to the number of players we expect to request carts the venue cannot guarantee that additional carts will be available for spectators. If they have any additional carts they will only be made available to spectators AFTER all players have been allocated their cart.
The use of carts is NOT mandatory. Players do still have the option of walking at this tournament. If you choose this option it is important that the required pace of play is maintained at all times. We will monitor pace of play and if necessary, following two warnings, slow players will be penalized by additional penalty strokes.
CADDIES:
Please note caddies are permitted at our tour events only for players aged 15 or less. Caddies for aged 16+ players are not permissible at any of our tournaments. Caddies must observe USGA caddie rules at all times and pace of play MUST be observed. Player coaching of any kind is strictly prohibited at all times during tournament play.
IMPORTANT SCORING NOTES:
Official scoring for this tournament will only be accepted by inputting scores into our dedicated online scoring app, which can be downloaded from your phone’s app store, by searching for CJGT. Please download the CJGT app and register your player in advance of your arrival at the tournament. If you have any issues doing so you must identify these to us before the tournament date as, due to weekend staffing issues at iWanamaker Support, we are often unable to resolve app admin issues on the day of play. Before play we will also request that you keep a personal paper scorecard record which can be used as a reference/backup should any discrepancies or errors be made in the app.
If using the scoring app for the first time, you will first have to register by inputting your details in the CJGT app. Please only do so by USING THE PLAYERS NAME and confirm that you are registering a JUNIOR GOLFER/PLAYER when asked. It’s important that you do NOT register as a Parent or Spectator as doing so will immediately lock you, and your Junior Golfer, out of the ability to add scores! Once registered you can then search for this tournament in the Find an Event section.
At tournament scoring via the CJGT app is a simple process and we can demonstrate this prior to play. Players, please bear in mind that YOUR score on each hole is always YOUR responsibility and this applies even when you are not the person within your group who is inputting it to the app. We always request that you double check it has been entered correctly before you finalize it following play each day.18. If you do notice ANY discrepancy, please bring it to our attention immediately.
Please note that when searching in your phone’s app store for the CJGT app please look for, and then download, the app that looks like this:
We are looking forward to another great weekend of Junior Golf at Lopez Legacy GC in The Villages….See You on the Tee!
