PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
GALLERY POLICY
It is the objective of the UJGA to allow galleries at all sanctioned events. When a gallery is permitted, the UJGA has adopted a Code of Conduct for all galleries; the following is a summary of the gallery rules:
- WALKING NEXT TO A PLAYER is prohibited. Gallery members must maintain a 50-foot distance from all players, keep up with the group they are following and remain on the cart path if one is provided (remain in the rough-cut area if no cart path).
- WALKING IN THE FAIRWAY CUT of the hole being played is prohibited with the exception that a gallery member can cross a fairway to aide in the search of a golf ball or to get to the next hole.
- WALKING AHEAD or BEHIND THE GROUP is prohibited.
- COACHING ANY PLAYER during a stipulated round is prohibited.
- CELL PHONE USE in “talking” while on the golf course is prohibited. Gallery members are allowed to “text” messages and must keep the cell phone in a “vibrating” mode.
- CARRYING PLAYER’S ITEMS (rain gear, sweaters, etc.) that the player may use during the round is prohibited. Violation of this would constitute that the person carrying the items is a caddie as the items are considered the player’s equipment by the USGA Rules of Golf / Definition of Equipment.
Gallery members may:
- Make positive comments on player’s performance as long as no prejudice is shown toward a specific player.
- May rent golf carts if the host facility permits. Carts must remain on cart path or the rough cut of grass if no cart path is available. Gallery member must follow only one-group and must follow ALL golf course facility policies and rules. Must remain with one group (cannot go back and forth amongst groups)
- Tournament participants (UJGA members) may be gallery members upon completion of their stipulated round, but must follow gallery policies. Players are allowed to ride in a golf cart with a parent or guardian 19-years of age or older provided all gallery rules are followed.
Gallery Members must wear a UJGA “Gallery Pass” while on the golf course. Gallery members can obtain passes from UJGA officials at the starter or scoring tents. Failure to comply with the UJGA Gallery Policy may result in a player being disqualified and/or the Gallery Members privileges being revoked.

The UJGA Mission
The UJGA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to experience the game of golf through competitive tournament play.
The Purpose
The Utah Junior Golf Association’s PRO (Provide Relief Opportunities) Grant program provides top tournament opportunities to young men and women regardless of financial resources. The UJGA believes the opportunity to enjoy tournament golf should not be limited to those who can afford to travel and play a statewide junior golf schedule. Therefore, the UJGA would like to offer financial assistance to those juniors who can compete at the state junior golf level, but are limited due to financial constraints.
The Criteria
To be considered for the PRO Grant, all candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Candidates must be a resident of the state of Utah.
- Candidates must be between the ages of 8 - 18 and a current UJGA member.
- Candidate’s family must clearly explain their need for financial assistance.
- Candidates must be a B-student (last semester of school) to be considered for a full-tournament schedule.
- Candidates must write an essay expressing what junior golf means to them and how it will benefit them in the future.
- Candidates must list the golf tournaments that they are playing in outside of UJGA events.
All candidates who satisfy the above requirements are eligible to apply for the PRO Grant. The final selection of recipients is decided by the UJGA Grant Committee. Each candidate can apply for the PRO Grant at any time during the course of the season. Grants will be awarded to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
PRO Grant Conditions
- Acceptance into the PRO Grant program does not guarantee entry into any UJGA events. PRO Grant recipients will only gain entry into tournaments based on a submitted UJGA TOURNAMENT ENTRY FORM. To obtain Membership Application’s and Tournament Entry forms, see the association’s web site at www.ujga.org.
- The PRO Grant will cover tournament entry fees associated with a UJGA tournament only. Membership costs are not covered under the PRO Grant program.
- All PRO Grant recipients are expected to volunteer at designated UJGA tournaments, responsibilities are to include Scoring (12 & Under age divisions), participating in golf clinics, and any other opportunity the UJGA determines to be appropriate.
- The total number of grants will be determined by the total number of qualified candidates and availability of funds. Grants will be awarded to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.
