DAY 2 – SUNDAY VENUE DETAILS and DIRECTIONS CLICK HERE

We are very much looking forward to another exciting weekend of junior tournament though this time with a bit of a difference! Saturday will see us teeing off at, the always challenging and historic, Ocala GC, and following 18 holes there we will head for a closing round of 18 holes on Sunday at Candler Hills GC at Top of The World. We are pleased that you are able to be with us for this one. This email provides player information relating to Day 1 play at Ocala GC. Day 2 information (Candler Hills GC) will be issued on Saturday evening after Day 1 play concludes.

We will commence play on Saturday at 12.30 and all play will begin from Tee number 1. Below this message you will find individual tee times, pairings, yardages and flight information. We would request that you note the following important information relating to this tournament.

Please come to tournaments prepared with plenty of water, energy drinks and snacks for your player(s). We will have some additional water available, for players on the first tee.

On arrival at Ocala GC please check in with Fiona at our Golfer Registration Desk. We will confirm your tee time and check that the contact info we have for you is correct. It is extremely important that we have your correct contact number in case it becomes necessary to contact you quickly during this competition should it be necessary to relay any messages.

Cart rentals are already included at this venue for all of our players who wish to use one and carts will be issued to you by Fiona in tee time order. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A CART FROM THE STAGING AREA UNTIL ADVISED TO DO SO. Please note that the driver rules relating to carts recently changed and only players aged 15 or older with a license (you may be asked to produce your license) can drive rental carts.  If any player prefers to walk, with your own provided trolley or carry bag instead of using cart you can do so. If you do choose the option to walk, please remember that it is extremely important every player maintains a good pace of play. Please note if you are a spectator, and not riding with your player, please let us know if you require a cart. Our priority at these events is always to ensure that players who have prepaid carts are allocated their cart before spectators. Cost of additional carts for spectators is $25 plus sales tax.

Range balls for warm up are included and on arrival we will advise if they are already laid out at the practice area OR if the Pro Shop are going to be issuing them directly to each player.

Please note caddies are only permitted for players aged 15 and under at all of our tournament events. Caddies MUST comply with USGA caddie rules and pace of play MUST be observed at all times. If your group falls behind play, we will advise and request you make all efforts to catch up. To do so you must begin to play “Ready Golf” in order to keep pace with the group in front. If after doing so you are still behind play we will give you a target time to complete the following two holes. If target time not achieved, we will issue penalty strokes to each member of your group.

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

IMPORTANT: It is a condition of this tournament that ALL official player scoring will only be accepted when input into our dedicated CJGT online scoring app, which should be downloaded in advance from your online app store by searching for CJGT

An example image of the app is shown below, if using this app for the first time you will be asked to register (please do so AS A JUNIOR GOLFER and not as a parent/spectator) using player name and player’s email address. Please note we do understand that some of our younger players may not have a phone or an email address of their own. If that is the case, we request that a parent registers the player using the player’s name (please do so AS A JUNIOR GOLFER, not as a parent/spectator) Registration and use of the app for players is always FREE.

When you have registered you can then search for the event by date. You will find that the player tee times as shown below have been pre- loaded into the app already.

There are many benefits to using this app for official scoring and we will explain these prior to play however It IS always advisable that you should also maintain your own paper scorecard record as this can help following play in the event that any errors relating to scoring can be identified and quickly resolved in the app.

IMPORTANT: Weather Watch Texts/ Notifications. At check in we always confirm we have the correct on course contact number for you. The weather is unpredictable, and player and spectator safety is our number one priority. Should it be necessary to stop play at any stage we will notify you by text AND blast one long warning note by airhorn. Please mark your ball position and take immediate shelter. We will monitor the weather and text further instructions as soon as we can. For your information our policy regarding lightning strikes close to our location is an immediate withdrawal from play when sustained lightning is within 5 miles of our location.

As usual on Saturday and Sunday we will be adding a little additional excitement by operating a nearest-the-pin competition, sponsored by Edwin Watts Golf, with a gift card voucher prize for the winner. We will advise which par-3 hole this applies to prior to play. Recording a measurement for this contest will be done by adding your name to the provided pinsheet at the back of the green being used for the competition.

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

Following play on Saturday we will require each player to confirm and agree the scores loaded into CJGT app are correct before you depart for home. On Saturday evening we will email you player tee times and full information for the final round of play on Sunday at Candler Hills GC. Please note on Sunday we will also begin play at 12.30pm from tee 1.

On Sunday as each player flight group finishes we will verify and record scores and conduct brief medal presentation awards. 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 attending if you possibly can. Please note that in addition to medal awards, for each lowest scoring player flight winner, we will also be awarding FJT (Florida Junior Tour) STEP Exemption Awards to our lowest scoring Male and Female player (STEP Awards are only applicable to players aged 13 and above) Please note that to receive these additional awards ALL players must be a current Claret Tour Annual Membership Player prior to the tournament beginning and the low score achieved must be no higher than an average 80 strokes or less for each 18 holes played.
