Dear Parents,
Welcome to the Coastal Junior Golf Tour, I am very excited to announce an outstanding schedule of events for this summer!
It should be noted that the tour will once again have two levels. The Advanced Tour is for experienced junior golfers, and children will be required to walk and carry their own bags (pull carts may be allowed at certain facilities). Your child should already be able to play (walking) in +/- 2 hours per nine holes and understand basic rules of golf in order to participate. For the beginner level golfer we will offer the Junior Tour with events scheduled for Inland Greens each week. This level will be focused on becoming more comfortable on the golf course, instruction to improve skills, and learning the rules of the game. If you are unsure, you may have your local golf professional evaluate your child, or contact myself to set up a time to do so.
Some other points you should be aware of for this summer:
• Your children will adhere to a Code of Conduct set forth by the tour, please review with your child and make sure that you both understand it.
• Registration and payment of entry fees must be paid by the Friday before each event. In the event of a Saturday event in the fall, registration and payment shall be made by Wednesday of the week of the tournament. There will be no exceptions, as pairings and tee times must be delivered to the host course in advance.
• It is each players responsibility to know their starting time and hole, and to be there and ready on time. Failure to do so could result in disqualification from the event.
• Please make sure children have a lunch/snack packed or money so they can get something at the turn or when they finish. It’s important with the extreme summer heat that they also have a bottle of ice water or sports drink with them as well.
• Please make sure your children are picked up from the golf courses in a timely manner, (within one hour of projected finish time).
I look forward to an exciting summer of competition, fun, and camaraderie. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Yours in Golf,
