To have an event considered for the rankings, it must meet the following guidelines:
- Local junior specific events conducted in South Carolina or bordering states (North Carolina and Georgia) that abided by USGA Rules of Golf and have a minimum of 25 boys or 8 girls playing from the back set of tees for the event. Half of the field will be scored (maximum of 20 players). Tournament directors are required to forward full results to the SCJGA for the event to be considered.
- National events that are invitationals or a player earns their way through local qualifying. Examples: AJGA INVITATIONALS, USGA championships, the PGA Junior, and other such invitationals and national championships.
- Other junior events, conducted out of the SC, NC, GA area, will be considered as long as the player finishes in the top 10. While the SCJGA encourages testing skills against national play, the rankings are not designed to reflect the financial means to chase tournaments across the US. This policy was added to promote local play until the junior’s play is good enough to take on the road. These events must meet the above criteria. (Example events/tours: AJGA open and development, IJGT, PJGT, FCWT)
- Amateur events will be considered for ranking as long as the junior earned his/her way into the tournament via qualifying or exemption. These must be open to statewide or national play.
- The entire results must be emailed to /Blog/what-does-it-take-for-a-tournament-to-be-ranked to be considered
