Spectator Behavior
but in order to protect the competition and the junior golfers, and in keeping with the
traditional role of spectators, so as not to interfere with any player on the course, all
spectators are required to adhere to the following guidelines while watching a
Penn-York event.
Spectators and parents, except those volunteers acting in an official capacity, are not
allowed in the scoring or registration area.
Walk only on the cart paths or in the rough where cart paths are not available. Always
be aware of other groups on the course. (i.e. Don't hold up the group behind you.)
Golf carts will only be allowed to Group IV parents/guardians and on an exception basis
at the discretion of the host facility and tournament director, when warranted by health,
disability or age.
All spectators shall stay at a reasonable distance away from the junior golfers
at all times. DO NOT walk along side the junior golfers while walking down the
fairway or to the next teeing ground.
DO NOT talk with the players, as this will be construed as giving advice,
resulting in a penalty for the player.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GIVE RULINGS OR ADVICE. There are several
rule officials on the course to provide the players with assistance it they need
it.
Spectators may help the participants look for balls. This should be done with NO
OTHER INTERACTION with the players.
Obscene, abusive or foul language will not be tolerated.
Disrespect to tournament officials, volunteers and other players will not be tolerated.
Interfering with discussions on rulings and scores will not be permitted.
Distracting play by loud talking with other spectators and use of cameras, cellular
phones, radios or beepers during competition is strictly prohibited. Cameras and/or
video cameras may be used if they do not cause a distraction to the players.
Spectators are asked to encourage all participants with polite clapping.
Parental or spectator interference will result in your being asked to leave the
course and possible loss of future spectating privileges.
