JUNIORS
Hawick Golf Club is dedicated to creating an environment that nurtures the
enjoyment and enthusiasm of every member within our club.
We want to empower our juniors to base their conduct on a sense of
personal integrity and acceptance of rules, fairness, equality, respect for
others, moral conduct and a sense of what is right.
I agree to:
• Be friendly and supportive, offer help if needed
• Practice and participate fairly and be trustworthy
• Behave with respect to others including coaches/volunteers, club
staff, officials, other golfers, parents, team managers and spectators
• Respect the rules of my club and those of the facilities
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless
of age, disability, gender, ability, race, cultural background or
religious beliefs or sexual identity
• Always strive to do my best and refrain from inappropriate conduct
towards others including physical, verbal, written or emotional, in
person or through use of social media
• Be a positive role model and refrain from bullying and getting involved
in inappropriate peer pressure and push others into something they
do not want to do
• Set a good example at all times in aspects of punctuality,
language, behaviour and respect of equipment and others
• Will not smoke, vape, consume alcohol or drugs of any kind
• Report inappropriate behaviour or risky situations to a member of staff
Our Club recognises that to create a supportive atmosphere, which allows
everyone to participate/compete to the best of their abilities, it is important for
juniors to know that while we have high expectations of their behaviour, they
can expect the same in return from us.
You have the right to:
• Be safe and happy while participating in golf
