Event Information

Youth Golf of America offers regional, national and international events for juniors.  All juniors are welcome to compete regardless of skill level or ability.  The YGOA program offers juniors to move along at their own pace to improve and have flexibility to skip events and not be penalized. 

YGOA juniors compete in the following age divisions:  8u, 10u, 12u, 14u, 16u & 18u in both boys and girls divisions.  The determining factor of establishing an age division for a junior is his/her official age by August 31stof each year.  

Boys and girls who are at least 6 years of age at the time of their first tournament played and eighteen (18) years of age or younger on or before August 31 of that tournament year regardless of whether such individual has his/her 19th birthday during said tournament year are eligible for YGOA sanctioned events. Players must be enrolled and in good standing in a public or private school or registered in a home education program in the twelfth grade or lower and may not be partisipating with a college team.

Every effort will be made to make pairings based on comparative scores, except for the player’s first tournament of the year, which is paired by a random draw.

Entry fees for members on Regional, National and International Events are determined by the event location, however second family players will receive a 10% discount on the second entry fee at one of these events.

NO REFUNDS in the event of withdrawal, rainout, etc.

USGA rules will govern all play except where it is necessary to apply local rules. Decisions of the members of the rules committee will be final in all matters concerning the interpretation and enforcement of the Rules of Golf and the tournament rules of the  YGOA - Champions Junior Golf Tour.

All participants are required to wear appropriate golf attire at all times while participating in YGOA sanctioned events.  Education days and seminar dress codes may vary.  They will be posted prior to each event.

To register for YGOA events, go to the Registration Page, fill out the required player information, choose the tournament and then hit the Submit button at the bottom of the page.  You can also print the application form and send it in with the proper funds.  If you are a new YGOA Player, be sure to add  the YGOA  Membership fee to your entry fee.  To register for local events, it is best to contact the local club directly.  Summer and Holiday Camps fill up quickly, so be sure to register as soon as you have chosen you dates.

See you on the course!
