A schedule of events is available on the website and provides for on-line registration using the BlueGolf system. Most events are open to any junior between the ages of six and eighteen. A membership is available for those who want to participate in more than two Gold Tour events.

Juniors compete in a division according to their current age. The divisions, number of holes, and approximate yardage they play are shown at the bottom of this page. Juniors who will celebrate a birthday that will require them to move to the next age division may consider playing in the older division from the start if they will earn points in more than 6 tournaments for Player of the Year competition. Points are not transferred from one division to another except for points earned in the Okee-Gold Cup Qualifier.

Trophies are awarded to the first 3 place finishers in each tournament except the Okee-Gold Cup Qualifier, where they will receive an embroidered shirt for the matches.. Players earn points towards a Player of the Year Award for their position of finish in each tournament, playing in the Okee-Gold Cup, attending the USGA Rules of Golf Clinic, and any other event the Board of Directors may authorize to receive points. Points are earned September through July.

Okee-Gold Cup: The Okee-Gold Cup is a "Ryder Cup" format tournament conducted between GCJGF and JGFA at the Okeeheelee Golf Course located in West Palm Beach. A qualifying tournament is conducted in September by GCJGF to determine players who will represent GCJGF. The Participation & Performance Point Winners from the previous season will be exempt from qualifying providing they meet the age requirement for the division they won POY and they play in the qualifying tournament.

Florida State Golf Association - Junior Team Championships: Participants for this tournament will be by invitation from the GCJGF Board of Directors.

Point leaders in the 13-18 divisions will be considered to represent GCJGF in the annual FSGA Junior Team Championships.

The following awards are presented at the Annual Awards Banquet following the Junior/Parent Tournament in August.

• Player of the Year: Special trophies are presented to the first 3 point leaders in each age division, except for 6 & Under, providing they participated in at least 8 events. The Player of the Year in each division is automatically qualified to play in the next Okee-Gold Cup, providing they meet the age requirement for the division they won the POY. The POY for Boys 13-14, 15-18, and Girls 13-18 will each receive a FSGA Florida Junior Tour exemption.

• Overall Player of the Year (Boys and Girls): The overall point leader for their gender divisions receives a special trophy and a scholarship, up to $300, to a National junior tournament.

• PAW Award: Presented to each member that participated in at least 8 events, won a trophy during the year, and had no grade lower than a “B” on their final report card.

• College Scholarship: Awarded to graduating senior members who will be attending college on a full-time basis. The amount of each scholarship is decided by the Board of Directors.
