Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2012 Coastal Junior Golf Tour season! We are very excited about another outstanding schedule of events for your kids 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 a Beginner Tour starting with four weeks of clinics, and ending with some fun nine hole events scheduled at Magnolia Greens. 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. (Also see guidelines under tour schedules)
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. It is important that we have an accurate list of who is participating, as space may be limited and 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 a half hour of projected finish time). Clinics will be offered (Market St. Driving Range) to help your children improve their golf skills (separate from tournament fees). Individual lessons also available.
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,

Tee times will be available on website (coastaljgt.com) 48 hours prior to tournament.
Juniors will be placed on the tour which best reflects their ability level, and allows them to improve in a setting where they are comfortable.
Pace of play is a big issue at our events. In order for the tour to continue to play the finest courses in our area, we must keep up the pace of play and not interfere with normal play at the courses that day.
If your child cannot get around the course in a timely manner, he/she may be asked to play at the beginner level. We will put them at a tee length that gives them the best opportunity for success. In general we strive for a pace of play of no more than 2 hours 15 minutes for nine holes, and 4 hours 30 minutes for 18 holes.
Ability has a big factor in pace of play. A guideline for ability to play on the Advanced Tour:
Ages 12 & over: Should be able to shoot better than 55 for nine holes or average less than 110 from tees 5900-6300 yards
Ages 9 -11: Should be able to shoot under 60 for nine holes from tees 2300-2600 yards
