Code of Conduct

Nebraska Junior Golf takes great pride in the quality of its players, host facilities, and sponsors. The NJG requires all participants and their guardians to adhere to a set of guidelines known as the Code of Conduct. The purpose is to help all NJG participants grow and mature by understanding and accepting the consequences of their actions, both on and off the golf course. These guidelines also create a fun and safe environment for our valued members and their families.
