Eligibility

The LCJGT is open to boys and girls who are residents of Lancaster or Lebanon County, ages 9 and over, and still enrolled in school.  High school graduates are not eligible. All golfers will be required to attend a 90 minute rules clinic on either May 31 (6:30, Eden Resort, Lancaster) or June 5 (6:30, Eden Resort, Lancaster) to be eligible for tournament play. A Rules Test will be administered at these clinics.

There will be a total of 5 Divisions (4 for boys and 1 for girls).

At any of the events, a division may be eliminated if there are not enough sign-ups.

  • Senior Boys Division – ages 16 to 18 (18 holes from back tees)
  • Junior Boys Division – ages 13 to 15 (18 holes from middle tees)
  • Junior-Junior Boys Division – ages 11 to 12 (9 or 18 holes from forward tees)**
  • Boys 9-10 Division – ages 9 to 10 (9 holes from forward tees)
  • Girls Division – ages 9 to 18 (ages 9 to 10 = 9 holes; ages 11 to 12 = 9 or 18 holes**;
    ages 13 to 18 = 18 holes from forward tees)**

**Golfers in the Junior-Junior Boys Division and Girls Division (ages 11-12)
may request to play 18 holes. To qualify for 18 holes, they must be able to break
55 for a 9 hole score played during a regularly scheduled tour event. Once a player “plays-up” they may not go back to nine holes. Requests and questions should be
directed to the Tour Director.

Participants may request to “play up” after competing in their original division for
one tournament. Requests should be made to the Tour Director. Once a player
“plays up”, they may not go back to their original division.

Age divisions will be determined and set by the date of the LCJGT’s first event.

LCJGT Championship Qualification:  Points are awarded at the conclusion of
each event in the order of finish as follows:  1st place= 16 points; 2nd place=
10 points; 3rd place=9 points; 4th place=8 points; places 5 through 19 will receive
7, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 points respectively, all finishes in 20th place
and beyond will receive one point each. The top point earners in each age group (excluding nine hole golfers)will be invited to play in a championship final at
season’s end.

Overall age group champions and top finishers will be awarded prizes based on
a season long accumulation of points. Points earned in the championship final
will be doubled. In rare circumstances, the Board of Directors reserved the right to
award age group champion status, or other awards, to a participant who has
accumulated something less than the highest points total.

A top 3 finish in any Senior or Junior Boy’s division event will automatically
Qualify that golfer for the championship. A golfer must play in a minimum of
3 events in order to qualify for the season ending tour championship. Nine hole
golfers will not play in the championship.

Parental Membership:  Only junior golfers of members of the Lancaster County
Junior Golf Tour are entitled to participate in our tour events.
