Achieving Its Mission
The AJGA focuses on running high-level, consistent golf tournaments that give college coaches the ability to accurately judge the skill level of junior golfers. This is accomplished through adherence to the USGA Rules of Golf, the AJGA Code of Conduct, its Pace of Play policy, and the use of its Performance Based Entry system to fill tournament fields.
Each year, the vast majority of AJGA graduates go on to compete at the college level. In addition, most graduates do so on college golf or academic scholarships.
The AJGA also has implemented the "Cares for the Course" initiative in an attempt to revolutionize the way junior golfers take care of tournament courses. With this new program, the AJGA hopes to teach proper course maintenance habits that will carry on throughout a junior golfer's career.
