2011-2012 season will mark the Plantations Junior Golf Tour's 18th season as the nation's foremost Fall-Winter-Spring junior golf tour. With our first event being held in the fall of 1994 , the PJGT is the country's oldest three-season junior golf tour. The PJGT offers boys and girls ages 8-19, the chance to play competitive tournament golf at first class golf courses. All PJGT events are two and three day tournaments with all participants playing 18 holes each day. With no resume required and no handicap restrictions, the PJGT is the place for junior golfers to showcase their talent and receive the recognition they well deserve. Members of the PJGT receive national exposure through the Junior Golf Scoreboard. In addition, several events will receive AJGA exemptions and several PJGT events will be Junior World qualifiers. Running from Labor Day weekend 2011 until Memorial Day weekend 2012, the 2011-2012 season should prove to be our most exciting season yet, with tournaments in 17 states. Tournament sites include: TPC Sawgrass, Innisbrook, Cog Hill, TPC Louisiana and many more! In addition, the Tour will host events at 10 college courses including the Tour Championship at Purdue University. AJGA announces Performance Based Entry events for the PJGT 2011-2012 season!

The age divisions were different at this event because it was a Junior World Qualifier as well. Congrats.
Also, congratulations to the AJGA performance star winners this past weekend at Cooks Creek! Scot Sapp took the "stars" with his outstanding performance in the Boys 14-19 division, and Briana Midkiff stood out with her win in the Girls 12-19 division.

PJGT Adds Spring Tournament in West Virginia!
February 23, 2012 - We are pleased to announce the addition of a new tournament at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia. Speidel Golf Club will be the host of the Oglebay Classic presented by Xempt Player Series, May 12-13, 2012.
Oglebay is a golfer’s paradise providing 72 holes, including 36 holes of championship golf at Speidel Golf Club. Our juniors will be challenged by the classic Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed championship course which continues to be one of West Virginia’s premier layouts; and played host to the West Virginia LPGA Classic for 11 years.
Spring Events Added in Illinois and Indiana!
January 23, 2012 - The PJGT is excited to announce two events have been added to the Spring calendar. On March 10-11, the Tour will return to Southern Indiana at the famed Covered Bridge in Sellersburg. Also, one of the top country clubs in Southern Illinois will play host to the Tour on April 29-30 when we go to Sunset Hills Country Club in Edwardsville. Here is some info on these great venues:
Covered Bridge is a Fuzzy Zoeller- designed 18-hole course
nestled on a gently rolling plain at the foot of Southern Indiana's famous Floyds Knobs. Each hole has been laid out to emphasize the natural beauty of the landscape and panorama. The par 72 circuit features five lakes, a meandering creek and is pleasantly forested. Greens are gently contoured and trap placement is challenging but not punishing. Paved cart paths connect all tees and carts can be driven anywhere on the course's Zoysia grass fairways. Each hole offers a choice of four separate tees matching the course to the ability level of any player.
Sunset Hills Country Club is one of the most scenic and challenging golf courses in the greater St. Louis area. The 170-plus acres of hilly terrain boast grand, mature trees, prairie grasses, fabulous flowers and a colorful and lively butterfly garden. The course strives to achieve thick rough, tight fairways and quick greens.
Enjoy your stroll through the natural beauty of Sunset Hills, including stands of mature trees, rolling terrain, a generous sprinkling of bunkers and some water. Each season brings a new and more majestic look to the course, as mature trees continue to add to the unspoiled natural beauty of this pristine, pastoral setting.
Sunset Hills is more than just a name, as you'll soon discover upon seeing sunset after sunset from the club grounds, each one is unique and filled with breathtaking color. This is a course you'll never tire of; one that guarantees the necessary challenge for continued game improvement. The members are proud of this club and love sharing it with and showing it off to their guests.
Even with the work architect Keith Foster oversaw in 1997 bringing updates to the course, it continues to play like the traditional golf courses of a bygone era. It's a fairly tough course, the finishing two holes offering a challenging conclusion to your round!
You may now enter either of these events on the PJGT website!
