PLYMOUTH — The 2023 Marshall County Junior Golf Tour includes seven individual events and will begins today, June 13 at Woodbury Golf Course. The championship concludes on Wednesday, July 26 on Swan Lake Resort’s Silver Course.
Boys age groups are 9 & under (play 6 holes), 10-12 (play 6 holes), 13-15 (play 9 holes), and 16-18 (play 18 holes).
Girls age groups are, 9 & under (play 6 holes), 10-12 (play 6 holes), 13-15 (play 9 holes), and 16-18 (play 18 holes).
Parents are encouraged to help monitor play, as well as record and verify scores, but will not be allowed to provide coaching advice or cart rides during the events.
Cart rides may be provided to transport players when groups are starting or finishing in a location far away from the clubhouse.
All golfers 12 & under will receive an award at each event. Golfers may choose to compete at an elevated age group but not in an age group lower than his/her age.
Your age group will be determined by the age of the participant at the start of the first event. Proper golf attire (collared shirt or jacket) is required, along with proper bottoms. No denim or gym shorts please.
There are seven tour events and the combined total received at all events will be used to determine the season champion in each division. Golfers need to participate in a minimum of four events to be eligible for the championship. First place for each event is equal to the number of participants playing on each date in his or her division, not to exceed 10 points, second place is half the number of participants, third place is one point less than second, etc.
Ties for first, second, and third will be broken by sudden death holes, putt-offs, or chip-offs. All other ties will be awarded equal points. The top three in each age group will receive awards at each event and then at the final tour stop for the overall championship, as well.
