| The Legends Junior Tour takes great pride in the quality of its players, host facilities, and sponsors. The Legends Tour requires all members to adhere to a set of guidelines known as the Code of Conduct. The purpose is to help all Legends Tour participants grow and mature by understanding and accepting the consequences of their actions, both on and off the golf course.
VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT
Any of the following actions by a Legends Tour member at a Legends Tour event, non-Legends Tour event or toward another Legends Tour member anywhere, constitutes a violation of the Legends Tour Code of Conduct:
- Unsportsmanlike conduct including abusive language, club throwing, cheating, disrespect of volunteers, officials and host staff, or abuse of the golf course.
- Use of smoking or chewing tobacco products, drugs or alcohol.
- Not adhering to the dress code while at the host facility. This includes during a practice round.
- Leaving the course during a competitive round without permission of a Legends Tour official.
- Conduct deemed unbecoming of a Legends Tour member, such as acting in anger or creating other distractions.
- Physical abuse, threat of physical abuse, verbal abuse, slander or libel towards other players, parents, host golf course staff or members, Legends Tour staff or volunteers in any medium.
REQUIRED DRESS AT THE HOST FACILITY
- Hats/visors must be worn with brim forward, males must remove hat/visor while indoors.
- Collared shirts or mock turtlenecks (host golf course permitting) must be worn and tucked in at all times.
- Women's fashion shirts without a collar must have sleeves.
- Women's fashion shirts must not rise above the belt line at anytime during the golf swing.

The Legends Junior Tour Committee may assess any or all of the following penalties based on the severity of the Code of Conduct violation:
- Issue a verbal or written warning to the player and his/her parent/guardian.
- Enforce a two-stroke penalty.
- Disqualify the player from the tournament where the violation occurs.
- Suspend the player for a portion of the season or the remainder of the year.
- Suspend the player's membership indefinitely.
In addition, any player that is disqualified under Rule 33-1 for gross misconduct or unsportsmanlike behavior is automatically suspended from the next tournament he/she is registered for. In the case where the player in question is not registered for another event, that player is suspended from the next Major championship.
GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE
In the event of a suspension, the player may submit a written account of the Code of Conduct violation to the Legends Tour Grievance Committee within seven (7) days of the suspension/ disqualification. The Grievance Committee will review all submitted materials, including a tournament staff account of the violation. The Legends Tour Executive Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors will review grievances; all grievances must go through the appropriate channels to be considered.
