| I am scheduled to play in a tee time event, how do I find out my tee time? |
| If you are scheduled to play in an event where the start time indicates, “Tee times,” you will receive an email with your tee time at least (4) days prior to the scheduled event date. You will also be able to access your tee time at www.minnesotajuniorgolf.com at least (4) days prior to the scheduled event date. You will click on the Event Schedule on the left hand side of the website and click on the info button for the tournament that you are checking tee times for. If you do not have access to our web site you can contact the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Association at 763-754-6641 to find out your tee time. Please call during normal office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Please do not call the host facility to find your tee time. |
| How will I know if an event has been cancelled due to weather? |
| Unfortunately, our On-Site Administrators will not be able to postpone or cancel the tournament until they have sufficient evidence that the severe weather will remain in the area. They usually will not make that decision until the scheduled start time of the event. The tournament will not be postponed or cancelled due to rain only, unless it is extremely heavy and promotes flooding on the golf course. Severe weather is defined by lightning, thunder, tornadoes, and hail. |
| When will I receive my Membership Kit? |
| 2008 Beginners’/Transition/Junior Tour members that signed up for a membership by Friday, April 25th at 4:30 p.m. (CST) will receive a membership kit. Membership Kits will be mailed out in early June to those juniors. |
| How do I qualify for the Players’ Cup in my age group? |
| The Players’ Cup is the year-end championship for the Junior Tour. You must win a Junior Tour event in your age group to be eligible. |
| When do I find out which events I got into through the Tournament Selection Process? |
| All 2008 tournament confirmations will be done by email. If you received five tournaments through the tournament selection process you will receive a confirmation email for each event that you are registered into. These confirmation emails will start going out the week of May 5th. Players will be able to view their confirmed tournament schedule online by accessing their MN PGA Junior Players Club account on Monday, May 12th. Please add the following email address to your contact list or “Do Not Block” list in your email account: minnesotapgajuniorgolf@bluegolf.com |
How do I walk on at a Beginners’ Tour, Transition Tour or Junior Tour event?
|
| Our best advice is to get to the tournament site as early as you can, but no more than one hour before the event. Find the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Association representative (they usually wear a shirt with the PGA logo on it) and request to put your name on the walk-on list. At 20 minutes prior to the start of the event, your name will be called in the order it is written on the walk-on list, if there are no-shows for you to replace. If your name is called, you will then need to pay the entry fee of $20. |
I can’t make it to an event that I signed up for. What should I do?
|
| You should contact the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Association as soon as possible. If a junior must cancel out of an event, a refund will be made only if the MN PGA Junior Golf Association is notified before 4:30 p.m., at least seven days prior to the event. NEW FOR 2008: If you cancel out of an event at least seven days prior to the event by 4:30 p.m. you will receive a full refund minus a $5.00 processing fee. |
| When will I receive my refund for the events I cancelled under the appropriate guidelines? |
| You will receive an email confirmation that your tournament cancellation has been processed. If applicable, the refund amount is automatically put back on the credit card that was used to pay for the tournament. |
| How do I Enter the Tournaments? |
| On Tuesday, March 25th the 2008 tournaments will be open for selections through your MN PGA Junior Players Club account on our home page at www.minnesotajuniorgolf.com. You will only receive a MN PGA Junior Players Club account after you are confirmed for a 2008 Beginners’ Tour/Transition Tour/Junior Tour membership. You will be able to check out the Beginners’ Tour, Transition Tour and Junior Tour Schedules on the front page of our website or by logging into your MN PGA Junior Players Club account. You will not be receiving a second mailing with the tournament schedule. All tournament selections will be accepted until the stated deadline date of Friday, April 25, 2008 at 4:30 p.m. (CST) and payment will not be processed until after this date. We will only accept MasterCard/VISA payment for tournament fees. Checks WILL NOT be accepted! You will only be charged for the tournaments that you did receive after the Tournament Selection Process is completed. Selections will not be processed on a first come, first serve basis. |
| How do I Select My Tournaments? |
| Beginning on Tuesday, March 25th members will be able to log into their MN PGA Junior Players Club account using their ID and Password and select the events they would like to play in. When doing your online tournament selection, you will be asked to rate your preference for the events that you would like to participate. There will be a drop down list of sticker numbers (Beginners’/Transition Tour Members 1-15 and Junior Tour Members 1-20). The stickers are used to designate your preference for the events you would like to play in. Select one sticker number from the drop down list for each tournament. #1 designates your MOST preferred event, #15 (for Beginners’/Transition Tour Members) or #20 (for Junior Tour Members) your LEAST preferred. This does not mean that you have to try and sign up for the maximum amount of tournaments allowed for each program. |
