B.L.C.G.A. JUNIOR SECTION
 GOLF DAY CHECKLIST

Important Information for your  Parents:

• Timing: 18 holes of golf takes about 4 hours. Girls will generally play in 3 or 4 balls teeing off every 6-8 minutes. So if a competition starts at 12 and there are 30 girls playing, the last players will be finished around 5pm.

• Not all golf clubs allow shorts in the club house, and almost all clubs won't let you wear trainers, vest tops or tracksuits indoors. If you are unsure, please check the dress code with the club before you arrive.

• Always read the course notice board or competition information for any special rules for the day.

EVERY TIME YOU PLAY GOLF, REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR CLUBS!! In your bag you should have:

• Enough Balls for your round

• Tee Pegs

• A Ball Marker

• A Pitch Mark Repairer

• Golf Glove

• A pencil and a scorecard to keep score (you will be able to get a scorecard from the pro shop before you go out)

Don't forget to also bring:

• Golf Shoes as well as your ordinary shoes - you must always wear golf shoes on the course and ordinary shoes in the clubhouse.

• A spare pair of socks

• A change of clothes if you are eating afterwards

• Snacks to eat on the way round if you're likely to get hungry!

In the winter you will also need:

• Lots of warm layers. It may not feel cold, but you are outside for a long time, and the temperature can change.

• Bring a woolly hat and some gloves as your head and hands will get the coldest.

• If it looks like it will rain, you will need waterproofs and an umbrella. If you wear glasses, a baseball cap or a visor is also very useful.

In the summer you will also need:

• Sun block and a hat

• And remember to drink plenty of water. (not fizzy drinks)
