comparison and feedback will occur in all situations, but it is important that adults are more understanding and place the importance of sport and its related achievements into context.</div> <bR> <div> In other words, the child should be made to realise that failure to win a competition does not mean that there is little hope for him/her in life.  The emphasis first and foremost should be placed on having fun, participation and developing skills.  Whilst most children want to play sport for enjoyment and fun, parents can inadvertently turn the activities into a pressurised situation where the competitive element is over-emphasised.  Parents can also fall into the trap of comparing their child's performance with others instead of encouraging skill development.  It is important that the child is made aware that physical and skill development do occur at different times for different individuals and this will the help them to appreciate why they are not performing at the same level as others.  This is important in terms of the child's self-esteem and development of self-worth.</div> <bR> <div> Competitive experiences are an important part of  a child's development and correctly managed it can be a very positive training ground for teaching one to compete successfully in the numerous areas that will confront them throughout life.</div> <bR> <div> Conversely, if not managed well, the experience can have an adverse affect on the child's performance and enjoyment.  Bad experiences as a child can affect him or her for many, many years. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Honesty:</B></div> <div> Unlike other sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire.  The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules.  All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be.  This is the spirit of the game of golf.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Play

HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Know the Rules of Golf</div> <bR> <div> Cheating is an issue for most sports at junior level.  The absence of a referee or umpire in golf provides players with greater opportunities to play outside the rules. Peer pressure, pressure to keep low handicaps and the trophy-lover syndrome all come into this category.  If you can't be honest with yourself who can you be honest with?.</div> <bR> <div> A child who cheated as an eleven year old and goes on to win the placecountry-regionUS Masters will always be regarded as a cheat by those who knew him or played with him when he was eleven.  Is this how you would like people to remember you?.</div> <bR> <div> If a marker feels the player has not given them the correct score to record on their card you have the option of the following:</div> <bR> <div> 1. Dispute the score given and count back the shots played</div> <div> 2. Refuse to put down the score and take up with an official when handing in cards </div> <div> 3. Ask the other players in the group to confirm the shots recorded for that hole</div> <div> 4. Refuse to sign the card</div> <bR> <div> Do not feel intimidated by doing this, you are hopefully stopping a player from cheating himself and the others in the competition.  Honesty is never frowned upon and always pays dividends in the long term. </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 HEIGHT= 120 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="14678720.gif" border=0 width="120" height="114" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="748"><bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="917" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 104 WIDTH="911"><div> <IMG SRC="c5a433e0.gif" border=0 width="67" height="62" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="1564d470.gif" border=0 width="77" height="71" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="c5957500.gif" border=0 width="87" height="80" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="c5872620.gif" border=0 width="114" height="98" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> %%</div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=30 BGCOLOR="#FF0000" TEXT="#080000"> <div> THE GREG NORMAN FOUNDATION - <B><U>TURNING LITTLE FISH INTO SHARKS </U></B>- THE HOME OF JUNIOR GOLF IN QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
