Tell someone in authority if you are leaving the venue

The Essex Golf Union website and social media pages will often display images and video of golfing activities, including coaching days, county competitions and functions organised by the Essex Golf Union. The Essex Golf Union will take steps to ensure these images are used solely for the purposes for which they are intended i.e. the promotion and celebration of the activities of County Golf. If you become aware that these images are being used inappropriately you should inform the Golf Welfare Officer or The Essex Golf Union office immediately.
The photographs may be available on the website http://essexgolfunion.org as well as published on various forms of social media sites such as Facebook & Twitter. If at any time either the player, parent/guardian or the child wishes the data to be removed from the website and social media sites, 7 days’ notice must be given to the Golf Welfare Officer after which the data will be removed.
Golfing priorities after family and education should always be: FIRST COUNTRY - THEN COUNTY - THEN CLUB - THEN SELF!
