The California Junior Tour, now beginning its tenth year as California's premier fall- winter junior golf tour, offering eighteen, 36-hole, weekend tournaments from September through April. The 2009-10 season consists of a Fall Series, from September through December and a Winter Series, from January through April. Each series offers eight tournaments, followed by a 36-hole Championship Tournament. The 2009 Fall Championship Tournament will be at La Costa Resort and Spa, Carlsbad; and the 2010 Spring Championship will be at Coyote Creek Golf Club, San Jose.
With tournament sites scattered from the San Francisco Bay to Rancho Mirage and San Diego, the tour schedule is designed to allow easy access for as many juniors as possible at reasonable cost. Weekend dates allow for tournament participation with minimal interference with classes or other school activities. Most families will find one or more locations close enough to home to offer the convenience of a daily commute. Others families often combine a tournament with a family weekend mini-vacation.
Your annual membership guarantees an opportunity to play in any, or all events, except the two Championship Tournaments, subject only to space availability at time of registration. Participants in the Fall Championship and Spring Championship tournaments must qualify by participating in a minimum of one series event and based upon their tournament finishes in any of the series events.
Each Championship field of 100 players will include approximately 48 boys and 21 girls in the 15 -18 age divisions and 24 boys and 9 girls in the 11-14 age divisions.
Any member with a tournament finish within the ranges set forth below becomes automatically qualified for the Championship tournament at the end of that series.
- Boys 15-18: Finish 1 through T5
- Girls 15-18: Finish 1 through T2
- Boys 11-14: Finish 1 through T3
- Girls 11-14: All tournament winners
Alternates for vacant spots, in each age division, will be selected based upon each member's highest finish and the date of that finish in any series tournament. Typically, there are spots open for alternates and any member who has completed a minimum of 1 tournament during the series should register for the Championship if he/she wishes to participate. Only alternates who have registered will be chosen to participate.
Spectators
Spectators are allowed on the course for all tournaments, unless prohibited by management of the host golf course. Spectators must register with the tournament committee prior to play, sign a waiver of liability and comply with the California Junior Tour spectator rules. Spectators under 17 years of age must present a California Junior Tour waiver form signed by a parent or guardian. Spectators must not offer advice or assistance of any kind to any player during the round.
Spectators may rent a motorized cart, subject to the rules and requirements of the host golf course management and the California Junior Tour Spectator Rules. It is best to call ahead to the golf proshop to determine the availability of spectator carts.
