2020 CJGA Local Rules and Terms of the Competition

The Rules of Golf as approved by the USGA, the R&A and Golf Canada govern play.  These Local Rules and Terms of the Competition are in effect at all CJGA Championships and competitions.  See the applicable championships or competition Notice to Players and Entry Form for modifications or additions to these Local Rules and Terms of Competition.  Complete text of the Rules and Local Rules may be found in the Golf Canada Official Guide to the Rules of Golf, effective January 1, 2019.

Unless otherwise noted, the penalty for breach of a Local Rule is the General Penalty:

(Match play - Loss of hole; Stroke play – Two strokes)

1. Out of Bounds (Rule 18.2) - Defined by course-side points at ground level of white stakes and fence posts. Where stone walls define Out of Bounds the wall is an Integral Object.  A ball is considered Out of Bounds when it comes to rest outside the wall.  A ball coming to rest on or beyond a road defined as Out of Bounds is Out of Bounds, even though it may lie on another part of the Course that is in bounds for other holes. Gates in boundary fences are Integral Objects.
2. Penalty Areas (Rule 17) - When a red penalty area is defined on only one side, it extends to infinity. When a red penalty area is connected to the out of bounds edge, the penalty area extends to and coincides with out of bounds.

Dropping Zones for Penalty Areas – Where a dropping zone is marked for a penalty area, it is an additional option for relief under penalty of one stroke.  The dropping zone is a relief area.  A ball must be dropped in and come to rest in the relief area.

3. Abnormal Course Conditions, Including Immovable Obstructions (Rule 16) -
4. Ground under Repair - Rule 16.1 includes:
   1. Areas defined by white lines;
   2. French drains filled with stones;

• Relief from Seams of Cut Turf – If a player’s ball lies in or touches a seam of cut turf or a seam interferes with the player’s area of intended swing:

(a) Ball in the General Area:  The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b.

(b) Ball on Putting Green:  The player may take relief under Rule 16.1d.

But interference does not exist if the seam only interferes with the player’s stance.

All seams within the area of cut turf are treated as the same seam in taking relief.  That means that if a player has interference from any seam after dropping the ball, the player must proceed as required under Rule 14.3c(2) even when the ball is still within one club-length of the reference point.

16. No Play Zones – Areas that are ornamental garden beds, turf nurseries or decorative flowerbeds are No Play Zones that are to be treated as Ground Under Repair. Player must proceed under Rule 16.1f.
17. Aeration Holes – If a player’s ball lies in or touches an aeration hole:

• Ball in General Area. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b.  If the ball comes to rest in another aeration hole, the player may take relief again under this rule.
• Ball on Putting Green. The player may take relief under 16.1d.

But interference does not exist if the aeration hole only interferes with the player’s stance or line of play.

16. Immovable Obstructions - White-lined areas of ground under repair and the artificially surfaced road or path or other identified obstructions they are connected to are a single abnormal course condition when taking relief under Rule 16.1.
17. Wood Chips and Mulch (Rule 15.1) - Wood chips and mulch are loose impediments.
18. Integral Objects – The following are integral objects from which free relief is not allowed:
19. Wrappings, wires, cables and other similar objects when closely attached to trees;
20. Artificial walls and/or pilings which are adjacent to the edge of bunkers.
21. Bunker liners in their intended position. Interference by a liner with a player’s stance is deemed not to be, of itself, interference under this Rule.
22. Permanent Elevated Power Lines or Cables - If a ball strikes a permanent elevated power line or cable, the stroke does not count. The player must play a ball without penalty from where the previous stroke was made in accordance with Rule 14.6.
23. Temporary Immovable Obstructions – Model Local Rule F-23 is in effect. Temporary Immovable Obstructions include, but are not limited to, starting tents, scoring tents and pace of play stations.
24. Clubs and Balls (Rules 4.1a &4.2a)
25. List of Conforming Driver Heads: Model Local Rule G-1 is in effect. Penalty for making a stroke with a club in breach of the Local Rule: Disqualification.
26. List of Conforming Golf Balls: Model Local Rule G-3 is in effect. Penalty for breach of the Local Rule: Disqualification.

Note: An updated List of Conforming Clubs and Balls is available via www.golfcanada.ca/rules .

9. Pace of Play (Rule 5.6) - The player must play without delay in accordance with the current CJGA Pace of Play guidelines in effect and posted at all tournaments.

Note 1: Different Pace of Play guidelines are in effect for different forms of competition.  The player is responsible for knowing the Pace of Play guidelines and penalties specific to the event.

Note 2:  Rule 5.6a (Unreasonable Delay) is still applicable.

10. Practice (Rules 5.2 and 5.5) in Stroke Play:

Rule 5.2b is modified in this way:  A player must not practise on the competition course before or between rounds.  Penalty for first breach: General Penalty (applied to the player’s first hole).  Penalty for second breach: Disqualification.

Rule 5.5b is modified in this way:  Between the play of two holes, a player must not:

• Make any practice stroke on or near the putting green of the hole just completed, or
• Test the surface of that putting green by rubbing the putting green or rolling a ball.

11. Stopping and Resuming Play (Rule 5.7) – The course and all practice areas are closed when play is suspended for a dangerous situation until the Tournament Committee has declared them open. A player practicing in these areas when closed will be subject to penalties under the Code of Conduct.

Note:  A suspension for a dangerous situation will be signaled by one prolonged air horn note.

All other types of suspension will be signaled by three consecutive air horn notes.

Resumption of play will be signaled by two short air horn notes.

12. Caddies (Rule 10.3) Rule 10.3a is modified in this way: A player must not have a caddie during a round.
13. Transportation – Players must not ride on any form of transportation during a round unless authorized or later approved by the Tournament Rules Committee. A player who will play, or has played, under penalty of stroke and distance is always authorized to ride on motorized transportation for that purpose.

The player gets the General Penalty for each hole during which there is a breach of this Local Rule.  If the breach occurs between the play of two holes, it applies to the next hole.

14. Returning Score Card – The scoring area may include but is not limited to tents or rooms. A player has officially returned his or her score card when it has been returned to the defined official scoring area and the player has exited the area with both feet, unless the player verbally informs the scoring official that he or she needs to leave the scoring area and will immediately return.  When a tent is used for scoring, the official scoring area is defined by the outermost limits of the scoring tent posts or when the tent is roped off, the scoring area is defined by the outermost limits of the roped off area.
15. Code of Conduct (Rule 1.2b) - Any player who breaches the Code of Conduct as established by the CJGA is subject to any or all the following:
    • First Breach - Warning
    • Second Breach - One-stroke penalty
    • Third Breach - General penalty
    • Fourth Breach - Disqualification
16. Ties - In a stroke play competition, ties for first place will be decided by a hole-by-hole playoff. In the event a playoff cannot be conducted; the tie will be decided by matching cards based on the best score for the last nine holes.  If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, then the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole will be used to determine the winner.  If the players are still tied, the same process will be used for the front nine.

In match play, in the event of a tied match, (a) the winner is decided immediately by a hole-by-hole play-off and (b) the round is deemed to extend to as many holes as are required for a match to be won.

17. When Competition is Final –
    1. Stroke Play Championships: The competition is deemed to be closed when the trophy has been presented to the winner, or in the absence of prize ceremonies, when all scores have been approved by the Tournament Committee.
    2. Match Play Championships: The result of a match is considered to have been "officially announced” when CJGA tournament staff have posted the results on the CJGA website.
18. Meaning of Round - Unless otherwise posted in the Notice to Players a tournament round for a division will consist of two consecutive 9-hole rounds when all play in a division starts on the same hole. If every player in a division is unable to complete 18 holes but has completed 9 holes and the event is subsequently cancelled, the 9-hole score will count.  Every player in that division must complete nine holes for the event to count.
19. Parents and/or Spectators: A player may be subject to penalty if he/she or any member of his/her party is in violation of the CJGA Spectator Policy, which is in effect and posted.

CANADIAN JUNIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION RULES COMMITTEE - Effective March 5, 2019

CJGA Code of Conduct and Dress Code Policy

All competitors must adhere to the CODE OF CONDUCT AND DRESS CODE POLICY as set forth by the CJGA.  This CODE OF CONDUCT AND DRESS CODE POLICY applies to all participants throughout the tournament, both on and off the golf course.  The CJGA expects all participants to act as responsible young adults.  Our objective is not only to help junior golfers improve their game, but also to help them mature as individuals.

Age Division Policy

A player’s age will be determined as of August 1^st, of the calendar year for all categories.  A player will compete in the same age division all season long.

Example:  A junior that has a birthday August 3, 2003 will compete in the Bantam (U15) division during the entire 2018 season.  Although the junior will be 15 before the season is complete, he/she was 14 as of August 1^st, of the calendar year.

Requests for specific age divisions, tee times or player pairings can be made for any CJGA event. Requests must be sent by email 7 days prior to the event to info@cjga.com. Once tee times have been posted requests for tee times or pairings will not be accommodated.

Please note that the CJGA will try to accommodate all requests, although it cannot be guaranteed that all requests will be fulfilled.

CJGA Spectator Policy

The CJGA strives to provide the best competitive environment for junior golfers, not only develop their skills as players, but also to develop as young adults.  As a result, the CJGA has developed a Spectator Policy to allow junior golfers to develop their own personal decision-making skills without interference from parents or spectators.

INTERFERENCE AND INFLUENCE:  Spectators, including parents, are to have no influence on play.  Any direction, interference, discipline, scolding, influence, or advice is a violation of the Spectator Policy and/or Code of Conduct.  Any of these incidents or similar incidents may result in disqualification of the player.  Spectators or parents violating this rule will be asked to leave the course and the property.  Incidents will be reviewed by the CJGA Disciplinary Committee to determine any further action. Serious violations may result in suspension of membership.

MINIMUM DISTANCES AND PROHIBITED AREAS: A minimum distance of 30 yards must be maintained between the player and spectators in ALL circumstances with the following exceptions:

• Once all players have reached the green, spectators must remain 10 yards from the green.
• Once all players are on the tee, spectators must remain 10 yards from the tee and on the cart path.

When cart paths are provided, spectators (walking or riding) MUST stay on those paths.  When no cart paths are available, spectators must walk in the outside rough.

Spectators are prohibited from the following areas:

• Tees, Fairways, Greens;
• Scoring and Starting areas; and,
• Rules Situations

COMMUNICATION: NO communication (verbal or non-verbal) is to take place with the players during a stipulated round.

Exceptions:

i) Asking or giving the player food, drink, umbrella or the like;

ii) Need to deal with a medical situation.

LOST GOLF BALLS:  The CJGA requests that spectators assist with pace of play by observing when and where golf balls stray.  It is permissible to point to the area where the ball traveled but spectators are not authorized to assist the player in searching for the ball unless asked by a CJGA official.

EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING:  Spectators are permitted to carry items for players (e.g. a rain suit, umbrella, food, and drink).  However, once a spectator has given the item to the player they are not to retrieve the item at any time during the round.

DRESS CODE:  Each host course has its own particular dress-code policy.  Spectators who do not meet the standard established by the host club and/or the CJGA, will be refused admittance to both the golf course and/or clubhouse.  Please contact the CJGA National Office for more information on a suggested Dress Code for spectators.

CELL PHONES/SMARTPHONES: All mobile devices must be set to the “vibrate” only or “silent” mode or turned off.  Many golf clubs have policies that prohibit the use of mobile phones on the golf course and/or in the clubhouse.  It is the responsibility of the spectator to follow the policy of our host facility.

GOLF CARTS:  Spectators who wish to rent golf carts to ride at a CJGA event may do so from the host golf club.  However, some host courses do not allow golf carts.  Please contact the CJGA National Office or visit the CJGA website for more information.

Spectators must obey the golf course cart policy and must remain on the cart path at all times.  Should the usage of your golf cart interfere with the tournament, you will be asked to return to the clubhouse.

PENALTIES

Based on a breach of the Spectator Policy, any or all of the following penalties could be levied against the spectator or player:

• Verbal warning to the spectator and/or the player.
• Two-stroke penalty to the player being followed.
• Disqualification from the tournament of the player being followed.
• Spectator banned from the golf course and or property for the round.
• Spectator banned from the tournament.
• Spectator banned from future CJGA events.

OTHER GUIDELINES

Alcohol Consumption:  We ask all spectators wishing to consume alcoholic beverages that they do so in the confines of the clubhouse and then only in areas licensed and designed for that purpose.  Even though some clubs offer this service from “the beverage cart”, please respect our wishes in our request that the consumption of alcoholic beverages does not take place in the view of our underage participants.

Smoking on Golf Course:  For those spectators who smoke or use other tobacco products we would appreciate you do so out of the players’ view.

Pace of Play Policy

The Rules of Golf require that a player must play without unreasonable delay (Rule 5.6a).  Rule 5.6b(3) states in part: “To encourage and enforce prompt play, the Committee should adopt a Local Rule setting Pace of Play Policy.  This policy may set a minimum time to complete a round, a hole or a series of holes and a stroke, and it may set penalties for not following this Policy”.  In accordance with Rule 5.6b(3), the CJGA has adopted the following Pace of Play Policy.

Stroke Play Championships (3 or more rounds) & Regular (2 round) Competitions

ALLOTTED TIME

Each group is allotted a specific amount of time to complete a group of holes and the round at a pace in at each course.  When a group falls out of position, regardless of the reason, it must regain its position.  Time for ball searches, rulings, and walking time between holes is also included in the allotted time.

Checkpoints:  Four (championships) or Two (regular) checkpoint holes will be designated throughout the course.  Normally holes # 4, # 9, #13 and # 18 will be the designated checkpoint holes for championships.  Holes # 9 and # 18 will be the designated checkpoint holes for regular competitions.  Play of a checkpoint hole is deemed completed when all players in the group have completed play of the hole and the flagstick has been replaced in the hole after the last player’s ball is holed and/or if the player makes a stroke with the flagstick in the hole, as soon as his/her ball is holed. AND the ball is removed from the hole.

Note:  If a group or player incurs a penalty, the penalty will be applied to the checkpoint hole where the breach occurred.

DEFINITION OF “OUT OF POSITION”

First Group:  The first group (off the 1^st and 10^th holes, both morning and afternoon) to start will be considered out of position if, at any time during the round, they exceed the time allotted to complete a checkpoint hole, as detailed on the applicable course’s Pace of Play Time Chart.  This also includes a first group after a Starter’s Time.

Note: In the event of a split-tee draw (starting on both #1 and #10), the first group to start off of each tee (#1 and #10) becomes a “following group” when they are delayed by the last group to start from the opposite tee.

Following Groups:  A following group is out of position if it:

1. Takes more than the time expected to complete a checkpoint hole AND
2. Completes play of a checkpoint hole more than 14 minutes (14:59) after the preceding group completed play of that hole.

Time charts outlining the time per hole, including the finish times for the checkpoint holes, are provided at the starting tee and on the scorecards.

Penalties

Stroke Play – Group is behind time on arrival at checkpoint:

• 1^st missed checkpoint – warning (regular competitions and championships)
• 2^nd missed checkpoint – liable to a 1 stroke penalty (regular competitions and championships)
• 3^rd missed checkpoint – liable to an additional 2 stroke penalty (championships only)
• 4^th missed checkpoint – liable to disqualification (championships only)

Note:  If a group has not received a warning at a previous checkpoint hole, but is out of position at the final checkpoint, each player in the group is liable to a penalty of one stroke if no effort was made by the players to complete their round within the time expected for the final checkpoint.

Note: In circumstances where the Committee deems fit, the penalties under Rule 5.6a may still apply

Timing

If a group is out of position, it may be monitored or timed for failing to comply with the Pace of Play guideline.  When a group is out of position each player in the group is expected to make any stroke within 40 seconds after timing of the player’s stroke begins.

Other than on the putting green, the timing of a player’s stroke will begin when he or she has had reasonable opportunity to reach his/her ball, it is his/her turn to play and can play without interference or distraction.  Time spent determining yardage will count as time taken for the next stroke.

On the putting green, timing will begin after a player has been allowed a reasonable amount of time to lift, clean and replace his/her ball and repair damage and remove loose impediments on the line of play.  Time spent looking at the line of play from beyond the hole and/or behind the ball will count as part of the taken time for the next stroke.

Note: A player is permitted 40 seconds to make a stroke.  An extra 10 seconds (for a total of 50 secons) will be allowed for:

1. The first player to make a stroke on a par-3 hole
2. The first player to make a second stroke on a par-4 or par-5 hole
3. The first player to make a third stroke on a par-5 hole
4. The first player to make a stroke around the putting green
5. The first player to make a stroke on the putting green

Note: The Committee reserves the right, at any time, to time a group when the Committee deems it necessary.  Players should also be aware that the Committee may assess a “bad time” to a player in a group which is out of position if the player makes no effort to help his group get back into position.  An example of this would be a player who unreasonably delays play between strokes.

Penalties

The following are the penalties, in sequence, for any player in a group being timed who takes more than the allotted time to play a stroke after timing of the player’s stroke begins:

• One bad diming exceeding the allotted time – warning
• A second bad timing – 1 stroke penalty
• A third bad timing – Additional 2 stroke penalty
• A fourth bad timing – Disqualification

Note:  If the group in question regains its proper position, any previous timings of more than the allotted time will be carried over for the remainder of that round in the event that the group requires additional monitoring.  Any group with a player(s) who has a bad time will be notified if the group requires additional monitoring and time during the round.

The CJGA reserves the right to adjust the Pace of Play Policy without notice

Award and Prize Distribution Policy

In a CJGA Junior Tour event, ties for awards and prizes will be decided by the following methods:

1^st Place – A hole-by-hole playoff.  In the event a playoff cannot be conducted; the tie will be decided by matching cards based on the best score for the last nine holes.  If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, then the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole will be used to determine the winner.  If the players are still tied, the same process will be used for the front nine.

2^nd Place – Match score cards based on the best score for the last nine holes.  If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, then the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole.  If the players are still tied, the same process will be used for the front nine.

Note: This policy does not affect how points are awarded on the CJGA National Order of Merit.

Due to the growing interest from College Coaches, the CJGA has implemented the following codes for scoreboard usage and CJGA official results.  These codes are to provide juniors, spectators, coaches, etc., a more meaningful and accurate explanation of the information being viewed.

DNS (Did Not Start) - Those players who do not come to the tournament at all.

DQ (Disqualification) – Player is disqualified for a breach of the Rules of Golf.

WD (Withdrawal) – Reserved for a deliberate voluntary action or decision not to continue play after having started a competition and turned in a score for the entire stipulated round.

NS (No Show) - Completed one or more rounds - fails to report for tee time and previously has not notified anyone.

NC (No Card) – After having begun competition - a deliberate decision not to sign or turn in a card, walks off the course, etc.

Note: In the eyes of the amateur ranking organizations and college coaches the terms NC and NS situations are not held in high regard.  In general terms it is always preferred that a player formally withdraws from a competition as opposed to simply not showing up for their tee-time or leaving in the middle of a round without notifying an official.  Accepted reasons for withdrawing mid-round may include Injury or Family Emergency, however in these situations players must seek out and notify an official,  if a valid reason for withdrawing mid-round is not provided the Tournament Committee may treat such Withdrawals as a NC.

The following letter from the Golf Coaches Association of America and Women's Golf Coaches Association addresses their views on players who withdraw not due to a legitimate reason but rather to protect scoring average - Click Here

The CJGA Tournament Committee will determine which of the above codes will show on the scoreboard.

The CJGA Tournament Committee, on an individual basis, will deal with any other actions not covered by these codes.

The CJGA Disciplinary Committee, on a per tournament basis, will review juniors listed as NC or NS.  Disciplinary action may include suspension from future CJGA events.

CJGA JUNIOR TOUR

The CJGA does NOT permit the use of caddies on the Junior Tour in any age group.  Parents should also be aware that in-appropriate communication between parents/spectators & a participant in the competition during their round could be construed as coaching and result in a penalty towards the participant or the removal of the spectator or parent.
