Golf shirts and appropriate golf pants are required for practice days.

Shirts must be tucked in at golf course and practice facility.

Hats may be worn if in good condition and worn appropriately, at coach’s discretion.

No Cargo pants or  Cargo shorts.

 Discipline:

All players must attend all practices for the total duration of the practice. Only illnesses and family commitments will be allowed for players to miss practice. Player/parent must contact coach to confirm absence. Failure to do so, will count as an unexcused absence. If you are sick/home for the day, you may not come to practice or competition that day.

Missing practices or matches for unexcused absence or vacation will result in making up the same amount of time you missed before you can compete.  Example: You are absent three days on vacation then you must make up three days before you can compete for the team.

                Have pride in the program and continue to uphold the wonderful reputation of Hackettstown High School Golf and those who came before you have established.  What does that mean? You are gracious in victory and defeat.

                Thank the on-site staff and home pro for hosting our event.   

                PLAY BY THE RULES.  If you don’t know the rules, you can always ask for assistance.   Play with honesty and integrity at all times. Respect the course, your equipment and yourself.
