| Tournament Withdrawals | |
| 3/27/2008 3:21:34 PM | |
October 23, 2006
Dear Junior Golfers and Junior Golf Supporters:
The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA-men) and the National Golf Coaches Association
(NGCA-women) have recently been made aware of a growing concern in junior
golf regarding tournament withdrawals. Obviously, as there is in any type of golf competition,
withdrawal for legitimate illness, injury or personal emergency is understood. However,
it has come to our attention that the practice of withdrawing from events in order to
protect scoring average and/or national ranking is occurring.
One of the hallmarks of the game of golf is that it is a sport of honesty, integrity and discipline.
In no other sport are the participants asked to enforce the rules of the game themselves
and behave in a manner beyond reproach. College coaches throughout the country
evaluate prospective student-athletes based not only on their success in the classroom and
on the course, but also on their integrity. The ability to perform despite adversity is a characteristic
that all coaches place a very high premium on during the evaluation and recruiting
process. Especially noticeable are those players who “press on” during challenging times in
competition and especially those who shoot better scores after a poor round. Equally noticeable
to college coaches are those players who choose not to finish a competition. Final
decisions on who coaches believe will best measure up to the challenges of college golf
are made based on subtle differences. Through the cooperation and assistance of junior
golf tournament organizers and the Junior Golf Scoreboard our members are able to see
the results of all those who participate throughout the country and around the world.
On behalf of all college coaches, please accept our best wishes as you continue to play the
game!
Sincerely, Sincerely,
John Fields Kelley Hester
President, GCAA President, NGCA

| How we assign players in their age groups | |
| 3/29/2007 2:37:41 PM | |
There have been some questions about how we assigned our players in each age groups.--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A player’s playing age is determined at the beginning of the National Junior Golf Club’s calendar year. Our calendar starts on June 1.------------------------------------
For example: If a player is 9 Years old and turns 10 on June 2, 2007 then they may play in the 8-9 age group until May 31, 2008. If the player wishes to move up to the 10-11 they may do so, but they must move up before their first tournament of the season.
With the approval of the Tour Director, a player may move up before their first tournament of each playing season to a new age group: Summer, Fall and Spring Tours.Once a player is move up they may not be move down. Regardless of age, the Tour Director reserves the right to move a player up in any age group to keep fair play.
