How do I get invited to the MN PGA Junior Golf Association Players' Tour?
2011 Players' Tour Invites were sent out to junior's based on their average score to par using their top three scores in our program from 2010. Again in 2011 invitations are being extended in waves for 2011 invites. Boys that received invites in the first and second waves to the 2011 Players' Tour had a scoring average to par of 6.67 or less and girls had to have a scoring average to par of 13.67 or less. We will be sending out a third wave of invites in the following week.
If you did not receive an invitation to the 2011 Players' Tour after all of the waves have been sent out you must wait until after March 14, 2011. If there are still open spots available at this time you may submit a cover letter and resume of participation and scores explaining why you should be considered for the 2011 Players' Tour.
Since my Players' Tour membership includes a Junior Tour membership, how do I sign up for Junior Tour events?
NOTE: Only juniors that are ages 18 and Under as of August 15, 2011 will also be eligible for a Junior Tour membership. Since you are a member of both the Players' Tour and the Junior Tour you will not be allowed to participate in the Tournament Selection Process for events. You will be able to register for events that still have openings after the Tournament Selection Process has already taken place and are open again for online registration. You may also try to play in Junior Tour events as a walk-on or call the office to be put on the waiting list for an event.
Will I be able to check my scores and tournament pairings online?
Yes. You will be able to check your scores, series point standings, tee times and results all from your computer by signing into your MN PGA Junior Players Club account. You can access this by logging on to www.minnesotajuniorgolf.com and logging into the MN PGA Junior Players Club account with your ID and password. All of the information for points and results will also be available on at the top of the website under the Players Tour link.
How do I withdraw from a Players' Tour tournament?
All cancellations from events must be submitted online by accessing your account with your Players Club ID and Password from our home page or by calling the office at 763-754-6641. You need to do this even if it is the day of the event. It is very important that you let us know if you cannot make it to an event in your Series. It reflects poorly upon us if we have an event at a course and there are twenty juniors who no show. There will be NO refunds distributed if a junior misses an event in his/her series. If you are a no show at any event in the Players' Tour you will no longer be eligible for Series Champion or Player of the Year.
I filled out the form to play in an event outside of the series that I am registered into, how do I know that I got accepted into the event(s)?
You will receive an event confirmation email to the primary email address that you have listed in your online MN PGA Junior Players Club account. This will most likely happen about a week before the date of the event you are trying to play in.
How do I qualify for the Players' Tour Tournament of Champions?
Juniors participating in the Players' Tour are eligible to earn an invitation to play in the end of the year event, the Players' Tour Tournament of Champions. This tournament will be a two-day, 36-hole event that will take place at The Legacy Courses at Cragun's on August 11th & August 12th. Invitations will be extended to the top 20 Boys and 7 Girls in each individual Series points OR any junior who has won a 2011 Players' Tour Series event.
