Caddie Policy

2011 HJGT Caddie Policy

We have heard your comments, suggestions and concerns. Based on the proven success of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour and its mission to grow junior golf we will institute a new policy for 2011. This policy can only succeed with your understanding, willingness to follow published polices and provide constructive comments.

The Boys 10-12 and Girls 10-13 divisions will be allowed to use a caddie (with restrictions) in all HJGT competitions.

A “caddie” is one who assists the player in accordance with the Rules, which may include carrying (transporting) or handling the player’s club during play.

Along with the use of caddies in 2011 comes strict guidelines and polices that all players and caddies will be held to.

Policies:

  • Caddies will be allowed to transport the player’s clubs and equipment.
  • Caddies will be allowed to search for a player’s golf ball
  • Caddies will be allowed to clean a players golf ball
  • Caddies will be allowed to give the players advice (HJGT Pace of Play Policy will be enforced)
  • Caddies will be allowed to transport a player only when shuttle holes have been designated on the Notice to Competitors, during evacuation/restart or back to a previous spot in order play in accordance with Rule 20-5 and then back to where the player was picked up. Penalty for breach of the Transportation Condition is: Two strokes for each hole at which the breach occurred; maximum penalty per round is four strokes.

Motorized Carts

Caddies will be allowed to use motorized carts. Players will not be able to ride in the motorized cart at any point during the round. Caddies may use the motorized cart to transport themselves and the player’s equipment ONLY. If the player is in breach of this rule they will be subject to a 2 stroke penalty for unauthorized transportation.

This policy is in effect as of January 1, 2011 and will be reviewed after every event. The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour has the authority to eliminate or modify this policy at any time.

Breach of Policies and or rules by caddies

1st Offense= Warning from an HJGT official

2nd Offense= Caddie will be removed from the golf course

If a player can receive a penalty for a breach of a Rule then the same breach by their caddie will cause the player to receive the same penalty.
