Do I have to be a member to play in GSGA Junior Tour tournaments?
No. However, players will be limited in the number/type of tournaments they can play as a non-member. Non-member players may play in a maximum of ONE event during the Spring Series, TWO events during the Summer Series, and ONE event during the Fall Series. Non-members WILL NOT be eligible for the Spring Finale, Fall Preview, Regional Qualifiers or Season-Ending Championships. Non-members are eligible for the Premier Player Series, Team Series and the Skills Challenge Series, but are subject to higher entry fees. Please be sure to check the Tournament Information page to see if non-members are permitted to play.
What is included in a GSGA Junior Tour Membership?
GSGA Junior Tour members will have access to competitions with other players of a similar skill/age at discounted rates, a Youth on Course membership which offers rounds of golf for $5 or less at participating courses nationwide, a USGA Handicap Index and a membership benefits package that includes player gifts and much more.
What division do I choose?
There are 13 different divisions based on a player’s age and skill level. Players must make a good-faith effort to select the proper division based on their playing ability. These divisions are used for the Summer Series only as players are placed in flights for the Fall and Spring Series based solely on age/gender. Please visit our Correct Division Policy and Divisions Page for further information and/or contact our office for assistance in selecting the correct division.
How do I know which tournaments are available for my division?
Some events may not offer competition for all divisions. There is a “Search for Tournaments” button on the top right-hand corner of the tournament schedule page. Once selected, a dropdown menu will appear. Select the appropriate division and click “submit”. This will provide a list of all the tournaments for that specific division.
How do I qualify for a Season-Ending Championship?
Season-Ending Championships are for members only and each has its own entry criteria. Please visit the Championship Information page for information on how to qualify for a Season-Ending Championship.
