Presented by Krag's Golf "Providing a Competitive and Affordable Golfing Experience for Junior Golfers of All Levels." This is the mission the statement for the Middle Georgia Junior Golf Tour. PGA Golf Professionals Krag Woodyard and Bill Goggin have created a competitive and affordable junior golf tour here in Middle Georgia. Junior golfers' will have the opportunity to compete locally, learn the rules, etiquette of golf and have fun in the process. Thanks to the support of local owners and PGA Professionals, the Middle Georgia Junior Golf Tour will conduct 10 local tournaments from March – November of 2010. These one day events are being hosted by the following facilities; Waterford Golf Club, International City, Perry Country Club, Landings Golf Club and Southern Hills Golf Club, Uchee Trail, Houston Lake CC, Oak View CC. Tournaments will be played using a point system instead of the traditional stroke play tournaments played on other junior tours across the state. The point system allows different levels of junior golfers' the opportunity to compete fairly against one another. The points system works like this: Players will play their own ball on each hole using the following points system. Ages 6 to 18.

• 6 points = Eagle
• 4 points = Birdie
• 2 points = Par
• 1 point = Bogey
• ½ point = double bogey
• Any score higher than a double bogey on a hole, player must pick up and proceed to the next hole.

Ages 6 to 9

• 6 points = Eagle
• 5 points = Birdie
• 4 points = Par
• 3 points = Bogey
• 2 points = Double Bogey
• 1 point = Triple Bogey
• Any score higher than a triple bogey on a hole, player must pick up and proceed to the next hole.

Boys and girls between the ages of 6 to 18 (who are enrolled but not yet graduated from high school) are eligible to participate. The age of the participant determines whether they will play a 9 hole or 18 hole event. Tournaments will be held once a month on Saturday afternoons at local courses. The entry fee for each event will be $30.00 for 9 hole participants and $40.00 for 18 hole participants. The entry fee includes golf fees, range balls, snacks and gift certificates for winners. There is a one time registration fee of $50. Raffle tickets are on sale to offset some of the costs for each junior.
