IMPORTANT SCORING NOTES:

Official scoring for this tournament will only be accepted by inputting scores into our dedicated online scoring app, which can be downloaded from your phone’s app store, by searching for CJGT. Please download the CJGT app and register your player in advance of your arrival at the tournament. If you have issues doing so you MUST identify these to us before your arrival as we don’t always have the ability to resolve app issues on the day of play. Before play we will also request that you keep a personal paper scorecard record which can be used as a reference/backup should any discrepancies or errors be made in the app. Any player arriving to tournament, who has not registered in the CJGT app advance and who is not ready to score will NOT have their score included in this tournament. We suggest that EVERY player checks in advance that you have full player scoring access into the CJGT app BEFORE you arrive at the venue. Reach out to us at info@claretjuniortour.com if you have any app access or scoring issues today.

If using the scoring app for the first time, you will first have to register by inputting your details in the CJGT app. Please only do so by USING THE PLAYERS NAME and confirm that you are a JUNIOR GOLFER/PLAYER in this tournament. It’s important that you do NOT register as a Parent or Spectator as doing so will immediately lock you, and your Junior Golfer, out of the ability to add scores! Once registered 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 have been loaded into the app already.

Please note that when searching in your phone’s app store for the CJGT app please look for, and then download, the app that looks like this:

NEAREST the PIN COMPETITIONS:

As an additional exciting and fun element, we will also be operating a nearest-the-pin competition tomorrow and on Sunday with a PGA Tour Superstore gift card for each daily winner.

Please be assured player safety is always our priority and, if it becomes necessary at any of our tournaments to stop play, shelter on course or return to the clubhouse, we will immediately advise you by text message and by one long blast of air horn. Please consult the forecast prior to play and ensure you are prepared, as much as possible, for fast-changing weather conditions. ALWAYS bring plenty of water and snacks and stay hydrated at all times.
