USGA RULES

The UJGA conducts its championships under the 2008-2009 USGA Rules of Golf. All players are expected to comply with the rules in all matters; this includes the use of conforming golf equipment.

DISQUALIFICATION POLICY FOR SWIRE COCA-COLA JUNIOR SERIES

USGA RULE 33-1: Conditions; Waiving Rule / USGA RULE 33-7: Disqualification Penalty
The SWIRE Coca-Cola Series is a developmental series of tournaments for players 12 & Under. Rule 33-7 allows a penalty of disqualification in exceptional individual cases be waived, modified or imposed if the Committee considers such action warranted; therefore, penalties of disqualification, as identified under the USGA Rules of Golf will be waived and replaced with a 2-stroke penalty. This does not apply to UJGA RULES OF PLAY / Code of Conduct infractions, Dress Code violations or incorrect signed Score Cards.

MAXIMUM STROKE RULE

USGA RULE 33-1: Conditions; Waiving Rule / USGA RULE 33-7: Disqualification Penalty

The UJGA adopts the 12-stroke maximum rule for competitors participating in the SWIRE Coca-Cola Junior Series, the Boys 13-14 First Flight, Boys 15-18 Second Flight and the Judie Ahrend division of the ZIONS BANK Championship Series. This applies in all UJGA-sanctioned events except when a player is participating in a National Qualifying tournament.

The rule requires that if after 12-strokes a player has not holed out the ball will be considered holed and a score of 12 should be recorded on the official score card.
