Texas Junior Golf Tour

The TJGT tournament staff reserves the right to alter the yardage posted come tournament time for any reason - weather, course conditions, pace of play, etc - but will strive to have the competition tees set as close to, if not exactly on, the yardages posted for each division.

It is the responsibility of the player when playing a practice round to practice from the yardage posted on the TJGT website; tournament tees are set the day of the first round, not before. The TJGT is not responsible for where the tees are set at a golf course on non-tournament days; we recommend playing a practice round from the yardage specified on the tournament information page, regardless of where course tees are set on a given day, as those tees may not accurately reflect the yardage played during the tournament.

This TJGT event will be scored using the ShotStat Live scoring app, and all hole-by-hole scores will be updated in real time to the tournament leaderboard at TJGT.com.

All players MUST download and activate the ShotStat Live scoring app on their phone before the tournament and be prepared to use the app for scoring during each round. Paper scorecards will not be given out to any player unless in an emergency. 

The ShotStat Live App can be downloaded for FREE for Apple and Android devices via the device's App Store.

PRACTICING AFTER COMPLETION OF HOLE
Between the play of two holes, a player must not make any practice strokes 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. The penalty for doing so is the general penalty under Rule 7.2(2).

SPECTATOR/PLAYER INTERACTION
Players and spectators are not to have interaction during play. Per USGA Rule 10.2, the soliciting of “advice” by a player or giving advice or discussions between player and spectator that may be construed as advice is prohibited. The penalty for breach of Rule 10.2 is the General Penalty (2 strokes). Understand, there is no warning associated with Rule 10.2 – first breach is an immediate 2 stroke penalty. Players witnessing a violation under the Player-Spectator policy are instructed to inform the player in question immediately and contact a rules official as quickly as possible.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES
In accordance with USGA Rules of Golf, the Note under Rule 14-3 for all TJGT Events: Therefore, a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. If a player uses a device that measures more than distance, the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional information function is actually used.
