December 25, 2011 December 24 - January 2: Office Closed Office Phone: 615-790-3336 Websites Divisions Boys Girls Explanation: With the boys we wanted a better way to transition a player into playing 18 holes. Over the past couple of years we have seen such a wide range of ability levels in the 10-13 Tour division. We feel by rearranging the younger Masters division to be 13 and under it will even out the skill level and create a more even playing field. It might even grab some of the top tier Micro players to jump to the Masters and try and qualify for the Tournament of Champions (see below). For the girls, there were a couple key changes. First, we expanded the younger nine-hole division to include girls up to 18. This will help with those older girls who are just getting into the game by offering them a place to play. Second, we adjusted the ages for the older Tour division and both Masters divisions. Our older divisions will now be 16-18 and the younger Masters division will be 12-15. We feel this will even out the numbers within those divisions and create a more balanced field during each event. Masters Division Eligibility List The 2012 list will be made available online on February 1st by 5:00 PM CST. This list is created by reviewing every player’s profile from 2011 to determine which division we feel they should compete in for 2012. If your name appears on this list then you MUST compete within the Masters division for your age group. If your name does not appear on the list but you want to be added, please contact the office via email or telephone and we will walk you through the steps. Any new player to be added will require playing ability verification from a local PGA Professional or coach.
