HJGT FAQs

nder the tournaments tab on our website, you will see the schedule. That will redirect you to our full schedule page where you will find all of our upcoming events. If you’re still having trouble, you can call the office at 407-614-2962 and register over the phone.

Junior golfers should be between the ages of 8-18 in order to participate in the tour. However, no matter the age, once an individual becomes enrolled and begins attending college, he or she will no longer be eligible.

Once you finish registering for an event, you will find yourself on the active players list. The HJGT also sends you an email notification of your registration status.

If you are on the Waitlist, you will be contacted if/when there is availability for you to sign up to be in the tournament.  If you are invited into an event, you will be charged whatever the current registration price is at the time you are invited.

The HJGT will offer families discounts that have two or more junior golfers.  Participants who register one player at the current member registration rate will be eligible to register their sibling for 25% OFF the current member registration rate. In order to receive this discount BOTH players MUST be members and you MUST call the HJGT office and sign up both players at the same time. This rate is not available online and cannot be adjusted once the regular rate has been charged. Sibling rate cannot be combined with any other offers, for only Open events.

Yes, the registration price for each event will vary based upon the event and the time of purchase.

• Requests for Tour Credit that are received prior to 13 days before the first round will be honored for the full entry fee paid.

• Requests for Tour Credit that are received between 12 – 7 days before the first round will be honored minus 50% of the entry fee paid.

• No credits or transfers will be issued if a participant cancels their entry 6 days or less prior to the first round. No exceptions will be made and no Tour Credits will be given.

• * If you withdraw and receive Tour Credit, and then decide to enter back into the event you withdrew from, you must pay whatever the current registration price is at the time you re-register for the event.

In the event the field is not full 10 days before the 1st round, the HJGT may allow late addition players after the deadline. This is solely at the discretion of the HJGT staff and the HJGT reserves the right to add any player after the deadline. We highly encourage players to register as soon as they can as the majority of HJGT events fill up before the deadline.

HJGT Pace of Play Policy

• When the first player in a group has begun play on their 1st hole all players in the group are deemed to be on the clock and subject to timing. Additional info:

• All 18 holes on the golf course will be considered a checkpoint.

• The HJGT will utilize a color-coded card system (Green cards and Red cards).

• An HJGT staff member, inside the scoring area, will confirm penalties with groups.

• It’s the players responsibility to know what color cards they receive throughout the round.

• The 1st group of the day is measured against time par until they get into position with any group in front of them.

Timing Cards

• Green Card– Your group is in position AND/OR under the allotted time through that checkpoint

• Red Card– Your group is out of position AND over the allotted time par (BOTH conditions MUST be met).

• 1st missed checkpoint – warning* (warning remains for duration of the round)

• 2nd missed checkpoint – liable to a penalty of one stroke

• 3rd missed checkpoint – liable to an additional penalty of two strokes

• 4th missed checkpoint – liable to disqualification

• *Once a group receives a red card, they will have 2 holes to get either back in position OR under time par. If after 2 holes the group is still out of position AND over time par the group is liable to receive another red card.

• When the group is back in position OR under time par they will receive a green card.

• *When a group falls behind- regardless of the reason it must regain its position. Time for ball searches, rulings and walking time between holes is included in all maximum allowable times

• *The group will be liable to penalties if in the Committee’s view a reasonable effort was not made by the players to complete their round within the allotted time. Any penalties will be confirmed and issued in the scoring area. No conversation or issuing of penalties will take place on the course.

Definitions

• Overall time par: is the allotted time expected that all groups will complete a round based on golf course and weather conditions, setup, forced walks and quality of field.

• A player is allowed 40 seconds to play a shot. A competitor’s time begins when the competitor has had a reasonable opportunity to reach his or her ball, can do so without interference or distraction. Play ready golf.

• In position times are measured from “Flagstick to Flagstick”. Your group time begins when the group in front of you replaces their flagstick and ends when your group replaces the flagstick.

• Out of Position: When the group falls more than 15 minutes behind the group in front of them (flagstick to flagstick time).

• The HJGT encourages ready golf and strives for rounds under 4-hours and 30-minutes.
