You must play in the division that is your age on the last day of the event.

The Championship Division is for elite junior golfers ages 13-18. Players must be pre-approved for this division by JGAA staff. See below for criteria:

Players must be tournament ready in order to compete in our events. This includes understanding and implementing proper golf course etiquette/course management and being able to achieve the score criteria below.

• Ages 13-18: 115 or better on an 18-hole, par 72 course.
• Ages 8-12: +20 over par or better on a 9-hole course.

Players who do not meet this criteria are kindly asked to continue improving their game/development before playing in our events.

Yardages will vary depending on golf course/tournament. Each tournament will have a “Yardages” specific tab for each division and golf course. Below is a general guideline for the yardages we use:

Boys:

• 8-10 (10 & Under): 2000-2300yds (9-holes)
• 11-12: 2300-2600yds (9-holes)
• 13-14: 5800-6300
• 15-18: 6600-7000
• Championship: 6800-7200

Girls:

• 8-10 (10 & Under): 2000-2300yds (9-holes)
• 11-12: 2300-2600yds (9-holes)
• 13-14: 5300-5600
• 15-18: 5600-6000
• Championship: 5800-6200

The 8-10 and 11-12 divisions will generally play 9-holes each day of the event. Check under the “Tournament Information” tab under each specific tournament to see what days/how many holes they will be playing.

The 13-14, 15-18 and Championship Divisions will always play 18-holes each day of the event.

Special requests to move up a division before turning that age can be made by emailing mckenzie@jgaa.org. Once you play in an event in a higher division, you will not be able to move back down. Player of the year points will not transfer to the new division with you (they will stay in the division that you earned them in).

In order to move up a division before turning that age, you must consistently shoot around even par or better and demonstrate proper golf course etiquette/on-course maturity during competition.

If you want to move to the championship division, please refer the the “CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION” tab for that division specific criteria.
