Junior Tour of Northern California FAQs Nine years ago, the NCGA Junior Tour was formed. Six years ago, it aligned with the NCPGA to form one tour where junior golfers
could compete against the best players at an affordable price. The Junior Tour of Northern California boasts a year-round schedule of 26 events, with 10 of those events scheduled at two courses, accommodating up to 240 players. The Junior Tour would like to thank Capital Insurance Group for being its premier sponsor.
Q: Who can play on the Junior Tour of Northern California? A: To play in a Junior Tour of Northern California tournament you must meet the following requirements: • Have a current NCGA membership • Pay Junior Tour membership fee of $40 • Take mandatory rules and etiquette curriculum
• Have an established Handicap Index at the time of entry into the tournament
• Be between 10-18 years old by tournament day. Players under 10 may request an exemption
• Have not started college Before you decide to play on the Junior Tour
of Northern California, be aware that we usually play courses that are between 6,300-7,000 yards for the boys’ championship flight, 5,800-6,500 for the boys’ first flight, 5,800-6,500 for the girls’ championship flight and 5,000-5,600 for the girls’ first flight. Some younger players may not be ready for courses this long so it is recommended that they wait until they are ready.
Q: How are tournaments organized? A: Tournaments are 36 holes over two days. Our preferred model for tournaments is to have the first 18 in the afternoon and the second 18 in the morning. This way, families can travel and play on the same day and save travel costs. This is not always possible due to the needs of the golf courses that are providing us their facilities at reduced rates. When the course has a driving range, range balls are also included. Lunches may be provided at selected events.

Q: Why does the registration site not let me register on Friday? A: General registration usually opens on Monday mornings at 8 a.m. unless Monday is a holiday in which case it will open on Tuesday at 8 a.m. However, there is a registration period that lasts from the Friday before through Sunday evening. This registration period is for players who have won a tournament in the previous 365 days. By winning, they earn the right to pre- register. Between Friday and Sunday, they will see the registration box next to the tournament, but others won’t. The registration dates on the system will reflect this period until Sunday.
