JGANC sanctioned tournaments are all run by volunteer Tournament Directors through the generous support of their clubs and club members.
JGANC sanctioned tournaments are all run by volunteer Tournament Directors through the generous support of their clubs and club members. These volunteers spend months on the planning and execution of their individual events in order to offer a quality golf experience for JGANC members. We are so thankful for the many people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create our wonderful events!
JGANC tournaments have different ratings in order to provide opportunities for golfers of all levels. Our tournaments are designated as National, State, JGANC Premier Points Event, JGANC Points Event, Invitation or No Points.
The JGANC point system is used for awarding performance points, and is one of the criteria used to determine qualifying for Invitational Events, selection to JGANC teams and nomination for JGANC annual awards. Awarded points are dependent upon place earned and type of tournament. For more detailed information about points, please see section JGANC Points System below.
Selected JGANC tournaments have earned exemptions with other golf associations.
All 2-day JGANC tournament results are reported to Junior Golf Scoreboard. These ranking systems record your national ranking and your ranking within your graduating class. Often, a college golf coach will check Junior Golf Scoreboard and Golfweek rankings to help them better evaluate your competitive results and the strength of your tournament schedule. Rankings are one of the many tools coaches use to evaluate “Prospective Student Athletes.” For more information on College Recruiting, see the JGANC College Guide under News & Information section on the JGANC website.
Additionally, we calculate JGANC points and rankings on our website. See appropriate sections on our website for more information.
The JGANC point system is used for awarding performance points(for All Stars invitations, Co-ed Cup, Player of the Year), Team points(for Boys’ and Girls’ North Team, and Boys State Junior invitations), and Traveling Team points(for Boys Junior America’s Cup, Girls Junior America’s Cup, Hogan Cup and Mary Cave Cup).
Details on these invitational events are explained under Special Events.
**** New in 2019 ****
Traveling Team Points are awarded just like the Team Points. However, they are only awarded to selected tournaments. These tournaments are marked with 2 *s, i.e. ** on the schedule. The selection process for traveling teams will count Traveling Team points as part of the criteria.
Please note: Traveling Team events are inidicated on the schedule with 2*s.
Sanctioned Junior Tournaments: Junior tournaments must follow JGANC guidelines to qualify for sanction. Tournament sanction qualifies a junior to receive points if the junior finishes in the top ten (10) Overall or in an age group.
Sanctioned tournaments agree to conduct their events within the following guidelines:
The junior membership and directors evaluate tournaments each year. Ratings are given based on JGANC guidelines; returning results on time and returning complete results so points may be awarded. National and state events have predetermined status.
No Points tournaments on our calendar are for informational purposes only.
Invitational Events: Juniors playing in an invitational event do not receive points. Invitational tournaments on the JGANC calendar follow JGANC guidelines.
Invitations are sent to overall champions based on strength of field and score. State/Premier point events are considered first, followed by two-day JGANC Point events, or a combination of one-day JGANC point events. Conduct, sportsmanship, and No-show record are also factors used to determine TOC invitations. JGANC members are eligible to participate in the TOC regardless of age, thus eighteen year olds may participate.
Invitations are sent to top performance points earners in the following age groups; Boys 12-13, 10-11, 7-9, Girls 12-14, 10-11, 7-9. Conduct, sportsmanship, and No-show record are also factors used to determine All Stars invitations.
Boys’/Girls’ North Teams and Boys’ California State Junior invitations are determined by team points. Two spots are filled as “Captain’s Choice” which will take into consideration additional golf honors and participation. Boys/Girls Junior America’s Teams are selected by Team points, score average and tournament play during spring tournaments and the month of June and possibly early July. Points are only one criterion in team and special event invitations. Attitude, sportsmanship and record of no shows play a role in any selection. Performance points determine All Stars invitations.
