Registration
Registration will take place starting on Friday, July 1st at 8:00 am CDT and will end at 5:00 pm CDT on Wednesday, July 13th To register, log into your player's account at www.tgajuniortour.com and click on the tournaments tab. There will be a registration button above the tournaments which, when selected, will allow you to select the Tour Division Regional Championship at Links at Galloway.
Registration is open to the first 72 eligible players to sign up. Each player will be approved by a Junior Tour staff member before they are accepted into the tournament. If we reach capacity we will begin a waiting list and will fill the tournament field as spots open up. As in regular Junior Tour events, after tee times are created (July 15th) if a spot becomes available we will fill that spot on a division need basis. For example, if a 16-18 Tour boy withdraws after tee times have been created, we will fill his spot with the first 16-18 Tour boys on the waiting list.
If a spot becomes available in the event, we will contact the appropriate player over the phone.
