Code of Conduct

The PrimeTime Junior Invitational wants to make every event an experience for everyone involved. We believe that players can only reach their full potential in a professional environment. We are very proud of the player quality, the hosting golf club, and the wide involvement of the community in our tournament. To ensure these standards, we have established policies known as the “PTJI Code of Conduct”. The goal is to help PTJI players take responsibility, grow, and mature by understanding and accepting the consequences of their actions.

Any of the following is a violation of the PTJI Code of Conduct:

• Unsportsmanlike behavior (including verbal insults, cheating, throwing of clubs, misuse of golf course propertyas well as disregarding volunteers, officials, or players) and the threatening or use of violence.
• Failure to treat the golf course with respect, by ignoring the players responsibility for maintaining the course as well as repairing divots and ball-marks.
• Violating the dress code of the hosting golf course.
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or smoking (including chewing tobacco products).
• Vandalism in the partnering hotel and abusive behavior towards a host family and their property.

• Caps and hats must be worn with the visor facing forward. Players are required to remove caps and hats inside the clubhouse.
• T-shirts with collars or turtlenecks (if permitted by the golf course) are required.
• Women’s shirts must have sleeves.
• Women’s shirts should not protrude above the waistline during the golf swing.
• Women’s shorts or skirts should not be shorter than 4″ above the knee, or the inner seam of the shorts must be at least 4″.

• Tank-tops, T-Shirts
• Jeans shorts, short shorts, gym shorts, jeans, jogging pants, yoga pants
• Earrings (boys)
• Body-piercings (visible)
• Visible tattoos (must be covered)

Appropriate clothing is always required on the hosting golf course, before and after the tournament. Questionable clothing will be reviewed by the tournament committee. Should a golf course have a stricter dress code, it will be prioritized. Rule infringing players may not tee off.

Any violation of the Code of Conduct will be reported to the player. The PTJI Tournament Committee may issue the following penalties, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation:

• 1 penalty stroke for every act of unsportsmanlike behavior on the course.
• Immediate disqualification from the tournament.

Depending on the severity of the violation, a disqualification may also result in the disqualification of the player in future tournaments.

PTJI players which violate the PTJI Code of Conduct in non-PTJI tournaments are also subject to potential sanctions by the PTJI Tournament Committee.
