2012 Elite Tour- Two Day Tournaments

2012 NEPGA Elite Tour (Two-Day Tournaments)

NEPGA’s Elite Tour is designed to provide junior golfers in New England Top-Level Competition in a local setting. All of our events will be submitted to National Junior Golf Scoreboard allowing participating Junior Golfers the chance to accumulate points, earn national recognition, and provide them with the resources and experience needed to continue competitive golf beyond the junior years.

The 2012 Elite Tour Boy Player of the Year will earn an AJGA Performance Star (1 star) *note: the player must be a member of the 2012 NEPGA Jr. Tour.

Golf Course Set-up

All NEPGA Elite Tour events will adhere to the following golf course set-up criteria:

• Boys – 6500 – 7100 yards
• Girls – 5300 – 5900 yards

Age Divisions

Junior Golf Scoreboard requires all eligible events to predetermine what division the overall champion will come from. As a result, all juniors participating in the NEPGA Elite Junior tour will compete in one age division for the purpose of posting results to Junior Golf Scoreboard (i.e. one Boys Division, one Girls Division). Boys and Girls divisions are considered separate events and thus have separate overall champions. For rankings to be posted to the Junior Golf Scoreboard, 36 holes must be completed as well as each division must have 5 players or more.

Entry Fee

The Entry Fee for NEPGA Elite Tour Junior Events will be $125 for NEPGA Junior Tour members. Non-NEPGA Junior Tour Members will be able to register for events for a premium fee of $150 per event.

Membership for the NEPGA Junior Tour is a one-time annual fee of $125 per Junior.
