Junior Tour Memberships

     The Maine State Golf Association, Inc. is fortunate to have a very active, well-attended junior golf program, The Maine Junior Golf Tour. Working together with the Maine PGA, the Golf Course Superintendents Association, and the SMWGA & WMSGA, our goal is to promote golf for Maine boys and girls.

      All Maine junior tournaments are open to amateur golfers aged 17 and under, who either live in the State of Maine or are members of an MSGA member club. We encourage all junior golfers to establish a USGA GHIN handicap, which is available through most MSGA member clubs and can also be obtained through the MSGA if the junior golfer is not a member of a golf club. All junior golfers that do not have an established handicap will compete only in the gross division.

      All junior players must purchase an MSGA membership card annually. Cost to join is $10 for juniors and includes the card, a tee gift at your first event and a Rules of Golf book.

      The focus of the Maine Junior Golf Tour is not on winning, but on competing successfully, and improving the golf game to be able to play at a competitive level. A major emphasis is put on etiquette, the spirit of the game, and the values that the game promotes -- honesty, integrity and character.

      Competition in junior events is divided into three divisions by age; the 12 and under players will compete in nine-hole tournaments. Players in the 13-14 age division and players in the 15-17 age division will play 18 holes. There are also two girls division for the Maine Junior Golf Championship.

       Players under the age of 13 wishing to play 18 holes, or players wishing to move up from the 13-14 to the 15-17 age divisions must have prior approval to move up. PLEASE NOTE: Once a player competes in a higher division, that player must complete the remainder of the season in the higher division. In other words, if you play up, you stay up.
