During practice rounds for any HSJGA tournament, juniors may play one ball only and may not practice chipping or putting when there are players waiting. Violations of this policy will result in the following penalty.
Please note the HSJGA Policy for Practice Rounds in the current HSJGA Handbook: During practice rounds for any HSJGA tournament, juniors may play one ball only and may not practice chipping or putting when there are players waiting. The proper place to practice your golf swing is on the driving range, hitting multiple shots on the course, not filling divots, and not repairing ball marks are unacceptable and may cause removal from the tournament without a refund.
