MCJGA Rules
1. Arrive at the course and report to your supervisor 15 minutes before your schedules tee times, if you
arrive late, we may not be able to work you in and you may be disqualified to golf that day.
2. No caddies or automotive golf carts
3. Friends, parents, or family members may not accompany players to the course
4. Players may be disqualified for inappropriate language, throwing clubs, doing damage to the course, swearing, smoking, or having any illegal substance
Our goal is to develop character through the structure and the rules of the game (golf is the only sport where participants call penalties on themselves). Golf also teaches other life skills like patience, good sportsmanship and being able to focus on the task at hand. We also hope that we are exposing our youth to a leisure activity that they can enjoy, no matter what their ability level might be, for the rest of their life.
