Rule 6-6 3: Returned scorecard with only one signature Two warnings were given out throughout the week to those players that acted in an unsportsmanlike manner (i.e. club throwing, cursing, defacing golf course property). The first offense is a verbal warning while subsequent offenses will result in disqualification and/or suspension. Note: Please do not throw clubs, curse or deface any golf course property. We are very fortunate to have access to many golf courses throughtout the state, and acts such as these could result in non-committments from these courses in the future. -TGA Junior Tour Staff |
