Junior Golf Program

Junior Membership Application

As a junior member you are taking on the responsibility to know and uphold the traditions of the game of golf. This includes the rules and policies of Kitsap Golf and Country Club. This information will help you learn what you need to know, and to help you get the most out of your membership.

Our starting point is respect. Please be respectful towards fellow members and the golf course. How important is respect? Just look at the very first section of the USGA Rules of Golf booklet!

It is always best to call the pro shop for a tee time if you want to play golf. That way you will not be disappointed about course closures or tournaments. You must always "check in" with the pro shop when you arrive on the premises. This lets us know you are here for your tee time and in case of emergencies or messages.

Since we are a fairly busy golf course it will often be necessary to pair up twosomes or singles. Part of the fun of golf is meeting and playing with new people. You may even learn something new about the game of golf. Or, if you are a good player, others can learn something from you. So expect to be "paired up" if your group is not full or if you come out as a single.

HANDICAPS
When you first fill out your junior membership application you have the option of paying for golf handicap service at $5.00 per year. It is strongly recommended that you participate in this program. Having a golf handicap is often a requirement for entering tournaments. It is also a good measure of your golf ability and a way to track your improvement. It is the responsibility of each golfer to "post" their scores accurately in the computer. It is a "touch screen" process and any of the golf professional staff will gladly show you how to do this.

BRINGING GUESTS
As a member of the golf club you are allowed to bring guests with certain restrictions. This applies to all club members, not just juniors. Any person who lives in Kitsap County may play as your guest 6 times per calendar year. If your guest lives outside Kitsap County there is no restriction. You are responsible for your guest and any damages caused by the guest while they are on the club premises. Make sure they are aware of the dress code before they arrive at the club. It is also your responsibility to come to the pro shop and check-in your guest. Guest greens fees include a "warm-up" size range bucket. If you bring a guest out to use the range only you must purchase their practice balls.

The pro shop staff is always available if you have questions or problems:
Head golf professional: Bill Hart, PGA Class A Professional
Pro shop phone: (360) 373-5101
Club house phone: (360) 377-0166

Have fun, and see you on the course!
