Q. Can I play in a tournament without a membership?

A. You may play in one event as a guest without paying a membership. You will still have to pay the tournament fees.

Q. What tournaments can I play in with a membership?

A. With a NJGT membership, you can play in any tournament we host, regardless of location. At the present time only one event is an "invitation only" event, The NJGT National Championship. The National Championship is normally held over the Labor Day weekend in September.

Q. How much are you tournament Fees.

A. Tournament fees vary with each event. You can find the cost of each tournament by visiting the NJGT website. When you visit our website look at the top of the NJGT home page in the navigation bar and click tournaments, select the tournament you are interested in for detail information about an event. All registration entries made 2 days or less of an event will be subject to a $ 20.00 late registration fee.

Q. What is the refund policy?

A. A refund will be given if you withdraw from a tournament at least 7 days prior to that event. All cancellations will be subject to a $20.00 service charge. All cancellations must be requested by phone. Cancellations by email will not be accepted. There will be NO refunds for cancellations made 4 days or less, prior to an event without a medical or doctor's note. If you have a special circumstance, please call our office to discuss your situation. Events that will be non refundable are Championship Events and TYGA Ranked events. In order to receive your credit for the next event you must call the office and register. If you do not use your credit within 60 days you will forfeit your credit.

If you register for an event and do not show and fail to cancel, your credit card will be charged the total amount of the event fee. If a members has two or more “did not show”, failed to cancel for events, the NJGT will require that all future membership and registration fees to be paid upfront. Member must also have a valid credit card on file before they can register for any event.

Q. What is the adverse weather policy?

A. Under all circumstances, the NJGT staff will do everything possible to complete a tournament regardless of weather conditions. Unfortunately this sometimes requires that we play in adverse conditions. We do play in the rain. We do not play if lightning or thunderstorms are present. If it is not possible to complete all 18 holes of a tournament and all players of an age group have completed 9 holes, the NJGT will post these groups 9 hole scores. No refunds will be given if 9 holes of an event are completed. If it is not possible to finish 9 holes, the entry fee paid by participants may be used towards a future event. Because of costs already incurred by the NJGT at these events, we are unable to give refunds due to adverse weather.

Q. What are the age divisions?

A. As you will see, our age divisions are different from most Junior Golf Organizations. We feel that these divisions provide a more competitive atmosphere for all of our members.

Boys - 5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-18
Girls - 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, 14-18

Q. Can you play in a different age division than your current age?

A. Yes. You can only play up in an age group, never down. We base your appropriate age group based upon your age as of June 1st of this year. If you decide to play up in an age group you are required to stay in that age group. This decision must be made and finalized before your first event of each tournament season.

Q. Can I request to play with my friend at a tournament?

A. The NJGT office must have a least a 7 day notice indicating that you and your friend wish to play together. If the event allows us to pair you with a friend then we will do so.

We can not promise you that you will be paired with your friend on day two of a two day event. We arrange day two pairings based on your Stroke Average. Per age group, the times are assigned as follows: The highest stroke averages tee off first, this group will either be a 2-some or 3-some. The lowest stroke averages tee off last and may be grouped as a 3-some or 4-some.

Q. How do I find out my tee time?

A. Tee Times will be posted no later the 3:00pm the day prior to the tournament. You can find out your tee time by going to the home page of the NJGT website. When you visit our website look at the top of the NJGT home page in the navigation bar and click tee times. Select the tournament you are playing in.

You may also register for Tee Time Text Messaging. Just click on the spinning text messaging wheel on the left hand side of the NJGT home page and follow the direction. When we post the tee times you will receive a text on your cell phone giving you your tee time. This is a great tool on our two day events when you do not have access to a computer. We do not charge for this service however you may be charged by your phone carrier.

Q. How soon should I arrive at the golf course before my tee time?

A. You must be at the tee box ten minutes before your tee time. Give yourself time to practice and to check in at the registration table.

Q. Are spectator carts allowed?

A. The NJGT permits spectator carts. All arrangements pertaining to carts and cart rentals must be made with the host club. Not all host clubs allow spectator carts. It is up to spectators to call ahead and find out each clubs rules regarding this issue.
