Dear Athletic Director:

 

 

            The objective of the letter is to clarify the responsibilities of the District I Steering Committee and golf coach or faculty representative at the District I Golf Tournament.  It is mandated by the P.I.A.A. that “Each student participating in the Boys’ or Girls’ District or State Golf Championship, must be accompanied and supervised by a coach or a full-time professional employee from the member school that the student is represented”*.  The District I Steering Committee mandates that “Coaches and/or school representatives will be assigned responsibilities for the Boys’ and Girls’ District I Golf Tournament.”

 

            The District I Steering Committee, whose members are representatives of the different Leagues in District I, are the backbone of the Tournament.  Therefore, we are requesting that the Steering Committee members be permitted to return on the second day of the Tournament for our annual meeting (Wednesday, October 13th) and to assist in managing the Tournament.  The Steering Committee members are listed on the following page.

 

            I would appreciate your school’s supervision in ensuring the continued success of the District I Golf Tournament.  Please forward the enclosed information to your golf coach.  If you have questions or concerns about the Tournament Days, please contact me at (610) 459-8100 ext. 260.

 

 

                                                                                                Sincerely,

 

           

 

                                                                                                Steve Natalie

                                                                                                Chairman

                                                                                                District I Steering Committee

 

 

 

* If a school has a boy and a girl playing on day one, they must have a representative at each golf course.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                September, 2011
