Spectator Code of Conduct
Desert Jr Golf Tour Spectator Guidelines
“In golf, customs of etiquette and decorum are just as important as rules governing play.” It is appropriate for parents and spectators to applaud successful strokes, but in 
order to secure the spirit of the game, we ask parents and spectators to please adhere to the following guidelines: (Please note that if any of the following guidelines are perceived as broken by an DJGT official, the player may be subject to penalty.)
1. Advice (Rule 8) is any counsel or suggestion which could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke. In addition, any conversation between player/spectator may be construed as advice. This includes any conversation between player/spectator in their native language. In either instance, penalty for breach of this rule is two strokes. Players are responsible for the actions of their relatives and spectators in regards to this rule.
2. Keeping the above statement in mind, please keep your conversation with the player to words of encouragement as long as advice is not given.
3. Spectators attend DJGT events at their own risk.
4. Please turn off all cell phones at DJGT events.
5. The DJGT does allow spectator carts. Please follow all course rules.
6. All players and spectators are not permitted to ride on the back of a golf cart at any time during DJGT competitions.
7. Spectators should stay on cart paths. In the absence of cart paths, we ask that spectators stay in the rough. Please stay off fairways, tees and greens.
8. Spectators should stay one shot ahead of the group they are following. This allows spectators to follow errant shots and help identify where the ball comes to rest. Spectators are allowed to aid in the search for lost golf balls.
9. Spectators should not give rulings. Please seek a DJGT rules official if the need arises.
10. Spectators are allowed to carry medicine, drinks, food, umbrellas, etc.
11. The DJGT staff may assess a penalty to the player based on the severity of the spectator violation. If a serious breach has occurred, the spectator may be asked to leave the facility or the spectator may not be permitted to attend another DJGT event.
12. For your personal safety, we ask you exercise caution at all times. When inclement weather moves into the area, the DJGT will suspend play by sounding airhorns. Accordingly, you should seek shelter immediately. The DJGT staff will evacuate players from the course first and then spectators.
Thank you for coming out and supporting you favorite junior golfer!
