Green Tour Mission and Values

 

As a Green Tour member, you are expected to embody the mission and values of our close-knit organization. In its essence, the Green Tour is a small gathering of Irishmen united by a love for golf and a desire to grow and cement our relationships with each other, our partners and families, and the wider Irish-Atlanta community.



Our Mission

It is the mission of the Green Tour that members celebrate a common Irish heritage, build lasting bonds of friendship, and enliven the Atlanta-Irish community, through a unique golfing and social experience.



Our Values and Code of Conduct

The continued value and longevity of the Green Tour is reliant on each of us agreeing to and upholding a common set of values that provide the foundation of our mutual commitment and enjoyment. As a member of the Green Tour we ask you to keep this values front in center:

• Respect:  We ask that members play their part to participate in a society that is well organized, respected, and welcomed in the best golfing and social establishments in the state. This includes respecting your hosting member(s), club members, and fellow guests by strictly observing the rules of golf and etiquette when you play, arriving on time for events, keeping up a reasonable pace of play, and wearing our team colors at events.
• Fair Competition: We expect members to follow the golfing creed of integrity, fairness, and propriety in everything they do on and off the course. This includes keeping your GHIN up to date and taking seriously our Green Tour rules and committee instructions, recording your scores accurately and completely, and following the rules of golf.
• Fun: We strongly encourage members to engage in the competitive side of the Tour but don’t forget to enjoy your golf. We also expect you to participate in the social sessions after each event. As a green tour member, we want you not just to sign up for the golf but the social element as well. This includes contributing to the written and visual recording of events, the online craic and participating in the skins/bookie’s book. 
• Friendship: We ask that members use the opportunity the Green Tour presents to get to know all of our fellow members better personally and professionally. For this reason, we encourage members to reach out to other members they don’t know, make new members feel welcome, and join as many of the competitions that they can.
• Family: We are privileged to be able to spend time away from our families to enjoy each other’s company over competitive games of golf on world-class courses. For this reason, it is important to recognize the role our families play in our support and why informal gatherings and participation in the annual gala event are family-affairs.
• Leadership through Service: Green Tour members are encouraged to participate in activities representing members and sponsors of the Green Tour in our community. We look forward to supporting the causes of our members like St. Baldricks, Clan na Gael, the Irish consulate, Irish Chamber, etc..
