Rules test
Each player is required to complete an open book rules test prior to playing his or her first event. We encourage the parents to work with the player on the exam, in order to familiarize themselves with the rules of golf.
Application and release forms
An application and medical release form will be sent to each 2007 participant in April. If for any reason you do not receive these forms or need additional copies, please call Woodie at 598-4653 and make your request. Leave your name, phone number and complete address on the answering machine if I'm out of the office
Volunteer information
The parent (or representatative ) is expected to volunteer at least once each series in which the member participates. We use about 65 volunteers each event. If two players from a family are playing in COJGA events, then we need assistance at two events each series.
Financial assistance
If you need financial assistance, call Jerry Lyons at (541)610-2920 and inquire into the COJGA scholarship program.
