All junior golfers must make a good faith effort to choose the correct division when registering for membership each year. Before choosing a division, you must ensure that your current estimated stroke average falls within the guidelines provided on the Divisions and Fees page. Once you have registered to participate in a particular division, you are required to remain in the same division for the duration of the Summer Series (see Note 1 for exception). At the conclusion of the Summer Series, a player may choose to participate in a different division during the Fall Series.
Tournament scores are reviewed regularly by the AJG staff during the Summer Series. Any player who returns two (2) scores that fall more than ten (10) strokes above or below the guidelines provided on the Divisions and Fees page or who consistently displays skills and abilities not in accord with those required of their division will be subject to a review by the staff (see Note 2 for an overview of the review process).
Note 1: If a player discovers that he/she has chosen the wrong division (scores are considerably too high or low), he/she may then request a transfer to the appropriate division by contacting the Atlanta Junior Golf office. Event selection may be limited in the case of a division transfer. This request will be granted only once during the Summer Series.
If this request is granted by the Atlanta Junior Golf staff, future participation in the Summer Series is bound by the following provisions: (1) Points earned in the original division will not transfer to the new division, (2) no refunds will be given for events that have already been played, (3) when transferring from one division to another, event entry fees for future events in the old division may be applied/transferred to future event entry fees in the new division, (4) contestants are responsible for paying any remaining balance that results from transferring event entry fees from one division to another, (5) no refunds or credits will be given to offset any remaining balance that results from transferring event entry fees from one division to another.
Note 2: Contestants who made a good faith effort to choose the correct division during the membership registration process will be allowed to remain in their original division for the duration of the Summer Series. These players typically fit in the division they chose while initially registering but, as a result of practice, improved their game significantly before or during the Summer Series began. If, as a result of the review process, a junior golfer prefers to transfer to their appropriate division, the provisions found in Note 1 above apply.
Those who did not make a good faith effort to choose the correct division (or intentionally registered for the wrong division in order to easily earn points in a less competitive division), will be required to compete for the duration of season in a new division that better suits their skill level. The correct division will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the AJG staff in this instance.
Please contact the Atlanta Junior Golf office if, at any time, you have questions about choosing the appropriate skill/age division. |
