Supervising your child at our golf tournament

1. To ensure the smooth running of our events, we require a parent, or another adult (over 18) nominated by the parent, to act as a supervisor for each child on the golf course. A supervisor does not require a full knowledge of the rules of golf, but some knowledge would be helpful. The role is chiefly to keep the player’s score and to supervise their behaviour on the course. The parent or nominated adult is permitted to carry a bag for the five to six years’ category only. Information communicated to competitors must only be on rules and procedural issues. Competitors must make their own decisions on issues that affect the way in which the shot is played i.e. club selection or shot selection. Breach of this rule, in the first instance will result in the competitor being given a two stroke penalty. A subsequent breach may result in the competitor being disqualified.
2. Please make sure you are familiar with our Wee Wonders rules before arriving at the HSBC Wee Wonders qualifier venue. If you have any queries on the day, please ask the Event Organiser.
3. Thirty minutes before your match: please check in with the HSBC Wee Wonders Event Organiser, who will give you your official scorecard, pencil, numbered flag and gift.
4. Ten minutes before your match: please make your way to the first tee and introduce yourself to the other supervisors and players in your group.
5. On completing each hole, please agree the score with each of the other supervisors and players, and record it on the scorecard.
6. Should an HSBC Wee Wonders flag interfere with play, please make sure it is marked and remove it until the relevant shot has been played. Where more than one flag is removed, please take extra care to ensure that each is put back correctly.
7. After a player has taken his or her thirty sixth stroke, please give him/her the numbered flag to place at the exact point at which the shot finished, under your supervision. When all players in your match have finished, please go to the registration desk with all your players, where the scorecard, together with additional information, will be checked and agreed with you.
