Good afternoon everyone,

As we prepare for a brand-new season of junior golf tournaments to begin tomorrow, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you all to Eagle Ridge GC in Summerfield.

Below this message you will find individual tee times, pairings, yardages and player flight info for tomorrow’s season opening competition.

We will commence play at 12 pm on number 1 of The Heritage Course and our back 9 tomorrow will be on The Memorial Course.

It is important that all players check in on arrival with Fiona at our Golfer Registration Desk. Registration will be open from 10.00 am. We do need to know you have arrived with us and if any tee time changes are necessary, we will communicate these to you at that stage. Range tokens will also be issued to players at check-in by Fiona. It’s also extremely important to check that we have the correct phone number on file for you in the event that we need to contact you quickly while you are on the course.

As always, we will be operating a nearest-the-pin competition tomorrow, sponsored by Edwin Watts Golf, for all players with a gift card prize for the winner. The last hole of the day, number 18 will be used tomorrow for Nearest The Pin and all reporting of this additional competition should also be input into our new dedicated CJGT/ iWanamaker scoring app following play of that hole.

Carts are available for rent via the Pro Shop on arrival for all players with a valid driver’s license or parents who are accompanying younger players. Cost is $25 plus tax. Please note at all Claret Junior Tour competitions we are happy for players to use carts either by themselves if old enough (with a valid driver’s license) OR if with a parent or guardian alongside them. If you prefer to walk you are free to do so but if you choose this option, please remember that it is extremely important every player maintains a good pace of play.

Please note caddies are also permitted at our tournament events. Caddies MUST comply with USGA caddie rules at all times and pace of play MUST be observed. If your group falls behind play, we will request you play quicker, If a second request is necessary we will request you play “Ready Golf”. If a single individual player is causing a pace of play issue and the group has been spoken to already we will have no alternative but to add penalty stroke(s) for further instances of slow play.

Electronic devices that assist with yardages are also acceptable for use at this competition.

This competition will be ranked by GJGR. (Global Junior Golf Rankings). Official scoring will only be accepted by inputting scores into our dedicated online scoring app which can be downloaded from your online app store by searching for CJGT. You will find that the player tee times as shown below have been pre-loaded in the app already. Please note that we no longer swap paper scorecards between players however we do strongly suggest that you keep and complete a paper scorecard which can be used as a backup to refer to should any discrepancies or errors be made in the app. If you are using the scoring app for the first time, you will first have to register in the CJGT app USING THE PLAYERS NAME EXACTLY AS IT WAS ENTERED WHEN YOU REGISTERED WITH US FOR THE EVENT.  You can then search for tomorrow’s competition in the Find an Event area where you will find the full list of players and tee times are pre-loaded.

Please note that when searching in your phone’s app store for the correct app search for CJGT and download the one where the logo looks like this:

Once players are registered, scoring via the app is a simple process but if you do need any assistance with it please ask prior to play and we will be happy to help. Please bear in mind that YOUR score on each hole is ultimately YOUR responsibility even if you are not the person within your group who is inputting it to the app. We always suggest that you double check it has been entered correctly before you finalize it on the final hole. If you do notice ANY discrepancy, please bring it to our attention immediately.

Please make your way to the 1st tee of The Heritage Course 10 minutes before play where we will provide a short briefing to players on any local rules that may apply to this competition.

Weather text service: Please rest assured player safety is always our priority and if it becomes necessary at any of our tournaments to shelter in place or return to the clubhouse, we will immediately advise you by text. Please ensure you are prepared, as much as possible, for fast-changing weather conditions. Saturday forecast is for bright skies and lower than average temperatures so please prepare for the conditions accordingly.

Following play tomorrow, as player flights finish, we will compile scores and then conduct brief medal presentations. We always try to conduct these presentations as quickly as we can to ensure you are not waiting around too much but we, and our players, do always appreciate your sportsmanship and support by waiting and attending if you possibly can.

Claret Junior Tour Merchandise.

Tomorrow we will have available for purchase a selection of our latest branded hats and an example of our lightweight moisture wicking zip tops which can be ordered in male and female sizes. If any parent, player or spectator wishes to purchase any item please see Fiona. We are very proud of the fact that we offer junior golf tournament events at great venues and at great value for money and this is extremely important to us. Your support helps us to continue doing so and any profits made from merchandise purchased will always remain within our junior tour operation.

Please note that while we do not currently sell branded golf polo shirts with our logo, mainly because our players have so many different color and brand preferences, we are however happy for any player to bring a shirt(s) of their choice to us and we will have the logo added. This usually takes a few days and cost to do so is $15.

If you have any questions and need to contact us urgently, please don’t hesitate to call or text (Keith) on 716-436-8691.

We are very much looking forward to another great day of junior golf at Eagle Ridge GC tomorrow. See you all there!

** Please Note if any player wishes to play from a longer tee box than that allocated, please advise a member of staff prior to play tomorrow. If a longer tee box yardage is available, we will be happy to fulfill these requests. **
