The Platinum Tour is a division of Gold
Coast Junior Golf Foundation, Inc., a 501 (C) (3) non-profit, charitable
organization and is registered with the State of Florida, Division of
Corporations. GCJGF was incorporated in 1998 to offer junior golfers an
organized tournament and instructional program throughout the year. Prior to
1998 few opportunities existed for juniors to play, learn, and continue to
grow with golf once summer programs were completed. The GCJGF program
began with about 45 members and grew to 476 members in 2007-2008 year,
participating in twenty-two events, including the Prestige Junior
Championships, an International junior tournament during the Thanksgiving
holidays.
The
"PLATINUM TOUR" program is conducted for Boys and Girls with advanced
playing skills, ages 13-18 and who have not
reached their 19th birthday or entered college. Players play in the
following divisions: Boys 13-15, Boys 16-18, and Girls 13-18. Boys and Girls
who are 12 years old and have demonstrated exceptional skills may request
membership. Boys must score 89 or better and Girls must score 99 or
better on a consistent basis. (See the Handbook for all PT rules)
Platinum
Tour tournaments will be scheduled as 36-hole events. The venues will be
located throughout South Florida and the entry fee for each tournament will
vary depending on access fees.
Quality trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each of the
three divisions. A "Player of the Year" award will be awarded to the player
in each division who has accumulated the most
Platinum Tour Points throughout the year. The player with the lowest
stroke average overall for the season, using their best 10 scores, will receive the
"Low Stroke Average" award.
The
Platinum Tour membership fee is $75. Players may also join GCJGF "Gold
Program" for an
additional $50 and participate in the Gold Program 18-hole events. Click on
