1. Eligibility & Entry

Entry is open to junior golfers in the age categories published on this page. A player's age category is determined by their age on the day of the event. The academy reserves the right to refuse or withdraw any entry. All players must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on the day of the event.

2. Entry Fee & Payment

The entry fee is determined by the player's assigned age category and is payable before the event date. A place is only confirmed once payment is received. Fees are quoted in Malaysian Ringgit and include course access and competition administration.

3. Refund & Withdrawal

Withdrawals made more than 7 days before the event will receive a 50% refund. Withdrawals within 7 days of the event are non-refundable. In the event of cancellation by the academy, a full refund will be issued.

4. Format & Rules of Golf

All events are played under the Rules of Golf as approved by R&A and any local rules in force at the host course. The US Kids Golf age-based yardage format applies. Disputes are settled by the tournament committee, whose decision is final.

5. Code of Conduct

Players, parents and caddies are expected to uphold the highest standards of sportsmanship and respect. Abusive language, damage to the course or equipment, or unsporting behaviour may result in disqualification without refund.

6. Liability & Risk

Participation is at the player's own risk. The academy, its staff, the host course and their representatives accept no liability for personal injury, loss or damage to property arising from participation in any event. Players are strongly advised to carry personal insurance.

7. Weather & Cancellation

Events will proceed in light rain. In the event of dangerous weather, the committee may suspend or cancel play. Where an event is cancelled before any play, a full refund will be issued. Where an event is cancelled after play has begun, no refund is due.

8. Photography & Media

By entering, players and parents acknowledge that the academy may capture photographs and video during events for coaching, promotional and social media purposes. A separate photography opt-in is provided on the sign-up form.

9. Data & Privacy

Personal details provided on the sign-up form are used solely for tournament administration and academy communications, and are handled in line with our privacy policy.

10. Amendments

The academy reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. The version current on the sign-up page at the time of entry applies.

Who May Caddie

Only a parent, guardian or an adult authorised by the parent may caddie. Caddies must be 18 years or older. No player may caddie for another player.

Dress Code

Caddies must be neatly dressed in keeping with the host course's standard. Denim, singlets and open-toed shoes are not permitted. Golf shoes with metal spikes are not allowed on the bag or in the caddie role.

No Coaching or Advice

Caddies may carry the bag, hand clubs, rake bunkers, tend the flag and assist with pace of play. Caddies must not give advice on club selection, line of play, reading greens or swing technique. Repeated breaches will result in the caddie being removed from the course.

Pace of Play

Caddies must help the group keep pace with the field. Be ready at the tee, move promptly between shots, and keep up with the group ahead. Slow-play penalties may be applied to the player at the committee's discretion.

Respect for the Course

Caddies must repair divots, ball marks and bunker damage, and ensure the bag stand does not damage the green or fringe. Do not place bags on tees or greens.

Behaviour

Caddies must remain quiet during all strokes, stand clear of the line of play, and avoid any conduct that could distract another player. Mobile phones must be on silent.

Scoring

The caddie may assist the player in checking scores at each hole, but the player remains responsible for the correctness of their scorecard. The card must be checked and signed at the scoring table before leaving.

Breach of Rules

Any breach of these regulations may result in a warning, removal of the caddie from the course, or disqualification of the player. The committee's decision is final.
