South Florida PGA Junior Tour Policies & Procedures
Membership
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour is a membership-based tour that provides a competitive, yet fun tournament atmosphere, encompassing an eleven month season of golf played on some of South Florida’s best golf courses. The South Florida PGA Junior Tour is South Florida’s premiere tour for junior golfers.
Eligibility
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour is open to junior golfers age 12-18. Players will not be permitted to join the Tour prior to their 12th birthday, and will not be allowed to play in any Tour events on or after their 19th birthday.

New Members – Juniors who were not members in 2011 will be required to complete a registration form online which must include the name and contact information of a PGA Professional, as well as previous tournament playing experience including scores. Applicants will need to go to the website at www.sfpgagolf.com and go the Junior Golf link on the left side of the page.

Should the application be accepted, the player will receive notification via e-mail, and with the member’s login and password and will then be allowed to register for tournaments.
*Approval will be required of all Jumior Tour members even if they have played previously. Please complete the entire online application, including previous tournament experience.

Membership Registration Deadlines
Membership remains open throughout the course of the Junior Tour season, and individuals may apply for membership at any time, provided they meet the age and ability requirements. There is no cap for membership, and there is no minimum or maximum number of events in which a member must participate. It is important to take the processing time into consideration when becoming a member of the Junior Tour. Please allow ample time for processing membership if you are interested in playing in a Junior Tour event.
The application process for new members will take up to five days. Individuals will be notified within five (5) days of receipt of application whether their membership status has been approved, or if we need more information for membership consideration. If approved, a new member confirmation email will be sent out, including the new member’s login and password. Once the login and password has been received, members will be able to sign up for Junior Tour events online. When signing up for events the registration page will default to a rules test that must be completed before you may finish the registration process. The membership package containing Tour information and player gifts will be given out at each new member’s first event.
While Membership registration is accepted at any time throughout the season, each tournament has a specific registration deadline. Please take tournament registration deadlines into consideration when applying for membership on the tour.
Age Divisions
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour is open to the following age divisions:
Boys 12-13 (5,700-5,900 yards) Girls 12-13 (5,100-5,600 yards)
Boys 14-15 (6,100-6,800 yards) Girls 14-15 (5,700-5,900 yards)
Boys 16-18 (6,100-6,800 yards) Girls 16-18 (5,700-5,900 yards)
The 14-15 and 16-18 age divisions for Boys and Girls will play from the same set of tees and are eligible to compete for the Overall Championship of a tournament. 1st through 3rd place winners will be selected in each separate age division. One Boy and one Girl overall winner will be awarded in the 14-18 age divisions. Once awarded, this individual is not eligible to receive an award in his/her age division. The Boys and Girls 12-13 division will also have an opportunity to play up a division in the Overall, if the request is cleared through the Junior Golf Coordinator and Junior Tour Chairperson.
Determining Age Divisions
A player’s age division is determined as of their age on the first day of each tournament. For example, a player who turns 16 on July 1st will play all events before July 1st in the 14-15 age division, and will be automatically moved to the 16-18 division after that date. If that player turns 16 on the second day of an event he or she will be moved into the 16-18 age division for that event.
Declaring Up in Age Division
Members may “declare up” to an older age group anytime during the Junior Tour season. Once a member declares up, he/she must play in the older age group for the entire season and must play by the applicable rules and regulations. Members must email their request to the Junior Golf Coordinator, Meredith Schechter, at mschechter@pgahq.com in order to officially declare up.
The request to declare up must be made before the registration deadline of a tournament to be considered. Requests to declare up will not be accepted once tee times are made for a tournament, and the player will have to wait until the next tournament in order to participate in an older age division.
Tournament Registration
Entries for all tournaments conducted by the South Florida PGA during the 2012 season may be registered for no earlier than January 10th, 2012. Before members may complete registration to play in an event they must complete an online rules test. This procedure is to help member’s be more aware of rules they may encounter on the course during competition. There is no limit to the number of events members can enter. Online registration will be activated for each of the tournaments at 9:00AM 8 weeks prior to each event start date. Telephone, mailed or faxed entries will not be accepted.
Tournament Fees
Tournament Entry Fee – $75.00

All refunds will be issued minus a $5 processing fee.
Junior Tour Release Waiver
During online registration all members of the South Florida PGA Junior Tour MUST sign the electronic Junior Tour release waiver.

If this occurs, the member will be provided with a full refund for the event in which he/she was scheduled to participate.
Tournament Policies/Procedures
On-site Check In
There will be an on-site check in before the first round of each event. The location of on-site check in will vary per each event. Prior to the event, an email will be sent out with all pertinent information regarding the specific event and will include the location for on-site check in.
On-site check in will be mandatory for all participating at the event. The junior him/herself will be required to check themselves in, parents will not be allowed to check in for their child.
In the case of shotgun start events, there will be mandatory on-site registration for BOTH rounds in which the junior will receive their scorecard and rules sheet.
Pairings / Starting Times
Pairings for all Junior Tour events will be made by randomly selecting groups of three to four players based on age group and gender for the first round of play at each event.
For the second round, the field will be re-paired by score. Field size and number of players per age division will dictate which divisions tee off in which order.
For all events, requesting starting times or specific groupings will not be accommodated. Players will NOT be called to their tees. Each contestant is responsible for obtaining his / her starting time and arriving to the tee 10 minutes prior to their scheduled tee time.
Starting times will be posted on the South Florida PGA website four days prior to the event. Players will be notified via email of any changes that might occur after the initial release of pairings and starting times. Any changes will be immediately updated on the South Florida PGA website.
Withdrawing During an Event
Failure to complete 36 holes may result in future event suspensions based on committee decision.
No Show Policy
It is the responsibility of the participant to email the South Florida PGA Junior Golf Coordinator, Meredith Schechter, when canceling out of a tournament. When canceling on the day of the tournament, members must notify the SFPGA Section office and the host facility. Any member who does not follow this procedure will be considered a “no show.” Players who do not properly notify the Junior Golf Coordinator of their withdrawal are subject to the following penalties:
First Offense – EMAIL warning issued from Junior Golf Coordinator
Second Offense – EMAIL notification of Suspension from next scheduled event
Third Offense – WRITTEN notification of Suspension from the Junior Tour for the remainder of the season.
Any player that receives a third offense and is suspended for the Junior Tour will be subject to possible rejection of membership for the following season, regardless of skill level.
Rules of Play
USGA Rules of Golf and the SFPGA Junior Tour Rules of Play Card shall govern all play, in addition to local rules on the Notice to Competitors (Rules Sheet), which is distributed at every event, and is also available on our website. Be sure to read the Rules of Play Card in its entirety prior to your first event.
Distance measuring devices are allowed in SFPGA Junior Tour events, assuming the device measures distance ONLY. If during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance measuring device to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (gradient, wind-speed, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification.
Pace of Play
An average rate per hole will be set for all SFPGA Jr. Tour events. Each competitor’s scorecard will reflect their allotted time per hole, and a timing sheet will be posted and distributed at the first tee.
Each player must play without undue delay, which is defined as taking no more than 45 seconds to play a shot. Those players who are first to play from a given area (tee, fairway, green, etc.) will have 10 extra seconds to play their shot. A group will be monitored for pace of play based upon their time and position (keeping up with the group in front).
Check Point System
There will be two checkpoints located throughout the course, one on #9 and one on #18. All players in a group in breach of the pace of play policy at any checkpoint are subject to penalty.
Penalties:
First Breach of Round = 1 stroke penalty to each player in the group.
After the group has received their first breach during a round, if the group returns to their allotted time and obtains their position by the second checkpoint the penalty will be taken away.
Second Breach of Round = the one stroke penalty given at the first checkpoint will stick to each player’s score in the group if they do not return to their allotted time, or return to their correct position on the golf course.
Notification:
All groups will be shown a card when passing through a checkpoint, and may also receive a verbal notification.
Green = within time and in position
Yellow (WARNING) = either within time or in position (not both)
Red (PENALTY ISSUED) = over time and out of position (subject to a two stroke penalty if they do not catch up to the group in front or return to time par prior to reaching their last checkpoint).
It is the player’s responsibility to recognize when a breach has occurred at each checkpoint and penalties must be recorded on their scorecards. Penalties are to be added to the checkpoint hole the group received the Red Card or was notified of the breach.
Red Cards:
Given when a group is more than 15 minutes behind the group ahead (out of position) and over the allotted time.
- Allotted time: the maximum time allowed to complete play of the course or the holes between checkpoints. The allotted time is predetermined by the Tournament Committee and may be adjusted between rounds. Time for ball searches, rulings and walking time between holes is included in the allotted time. The allotted time will be printed on each scorecard and posted at the first tee.
- Timing: a group’s completion time at each checkpoint is measured when the flagstick is replaced in the hole once all players in the group have holed out.
- Appeals: if a player is concerned about slow play of one of their competitors they must remind that competitor of the Pace of Play Policy and encourage them to play more efficiently. The player may ask an official to monitor the group before of after a checkpoint or penalty.
Breaking Ties
Ties for first, second and third place within the specified age divisions will be broken by the USGA recommended method of breaking ties. (See Appendix I, Part C-11, Page 123)
Scores will be compared using the final nine holes (holes 10-18), if that does not produce a winner, then the last six holes, then the last three holes, then hole by hole, starting with #18 backwards.
Ties for the Boys and Girls Overall Division will be broken by a sudden death playoff. Playoffs will begin immediately following completion of the final round of play.
Weather Policy
Completion of 18 holes by all contestants will constitute an official event for each 36-hole tournament.
It is unlikely that an event will be rescheduled due to inclement weather. Refunds on player fees are subject to the Host Site’s rain check policy.
Tournament Cancellation Procedure
The South Florida PGA reserves the right to cancel tournaments in the event of inclement weather or other incidents. The South Florida PGA recommends checking the status of the tournament by calling the SFPGA, the Junior Golf Coordinator, or host facility the morning of the event. If a tournament is cancelled, members scheduled to participate in the event will be refunded the full entry fee to their credit card on file. If the tournament is cancelled during play, the South Florida PGA reserves the right to retain the full entry fee. Best efforts to reschedule a cancelled event will be made. Players who were entered in the first event will automatically be entered into the rescheduled event. If they are unable to participant on the rescheduled date they may transfer registration to a later event to receive a refund. If the rescheduled event has available space, juniors who were not entered in the original event will be afforded to opportunity to register for the rescheduled event.
Tournament Results
Tournament results will be posted immediately following the first round of play at each event on the Junior Tour website. Official tournament results for the final round will be posted on the South Florida PGA website no later than one (1) day following the event. To access results click Junior Golf, then Junior Tour Tournament Results.
All scores will be sent to Junior Golf Scoreboard no later than two (2) days following the event.

Spectators (updated 2012)
Spectator Policy
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour encourages spectators and parents to attend any and all Tour events. However, it is a privilege for spectators to attend and they are therefore required to conduct themselves appropriately at all times.
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour reserves the right to suspend and/or ban any spectator from one or more events.
Failure to comply with the Rules and Regulations may result in immediate removal from the facility and/or suspension of playing privileges for the member.
Spectators must stay 50 yards away from competitors so as to avoid the appearance of giving advice. (Rule 8-1, USGA Rules of Golf) Spectators are asked that they do not communicate with players during any competitive round. Examples are:
Verbal Communication
Hand signals to the participant, including gestures to influence player decisions
Providing participant with written material
Positional to assist with aim or alignment
Aiding in rulings or giving rulings
Interaction for health issues, must only take place prior to the hole being played or after. Examples include but are not limited to: the handing of medication, food, beverages or sunscreen.
Any player seen speaking to a spectator during the play of a hole, or for any reason other than for health concerns, is subject to a 2 stroke penalty based on Rule 8-1.
Spectators MUST remain on cart paths or in the rough areas at all times. Walking in the fairways not only causes concern about interactions with players, but it can be dangerous and cause the group behind to be slowed down. Please walk ahead of the group you are watching to avoid delay of the group behind.
Spectators should never be on the putting surface or teeing area, and should observe these areas from a minimum of 50 yards so that there will be no interference.
Spectators are not allowed to use cell phones on the course, and request that they are turned off or left in the car during play.
Should inclement weather force a delay in play, we ask that you please help shuttle players back to the clubhouse. A delay will be signaled by one long blast.
All spectators must dress appropriately in golf attire when attending South Florida PGA Junior Tour Events. Blue jeans, t-shirts, tank tops and short shorts are not to be worn.
Spectator Carts
Spectator golf carts will be available at the discretion of the host facility. If spectator carts are permissible, they must remain on cart paths at all times. Cost of spectator carts are set by the host facility.
Spectators are not permitted to give rides to competitors between holes. SFPGA Staff will provide shuttles if and when they are necessary. The only time a player will be shuttle by specators will be in inclement weather in which we ask that you please help shuttle players back to the clubhouse.
Tournament Information
Practice Rounds
Practice rounds are offered to Tour members and are based on each individual club’s availability. Some clubs may offer play to parents, but this is not the standard and should not be expected. The South Florida PGA Junior Tour Code of Conduct is in effect during practice rounds. Should parents be allowed to play, they too must abide by the Tour Code of Conduct.
Hotel Accommodations
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour will attempt to secure discounted rates at hotels near tournament sites. Information on hotels will be available on the SFPGA Jr. Tour website. It is the responsibility of Tour members and parents to make hotel accommodations for overnight stays for Tour events.
Accommodations for Junior Golfers with Disabilities or Chronic Health Conditions
The South Florida PGA Junior Tour will, at its sole discretion and upon receipt of applicable medical documentation, make reasonable accommodations for junior golfers with disabilities or chronic health condition.
