PARENT COMMITMENT JUNIOR GOLF PARENT COMMITMENT (For all 9 hole JTGA parents) I understand that among my responsibilities as a parent of an JTGA Junior Golfer, if assigned by my Golf Course; I am to take an active part in being a walker (or providing an adult substitute / walker acceptable to host club) on event days. If I commit as a walker/representative for my Home Club and did not show on the designated date as a walker (or provide an adult substitute / walker acceptable to the host club) will mean my child cannot participate in future JTGA activities. IMPORTANT - Golf Carts will be driven by the walker / adult designated for each group.
