IMPORTANT NOTE – TOURNAMENT SCORING

Official player scoring at ALL tournaments is only accepted when input by each player into our dedicated online scoring app following the conclusion of each hole. Please download the app named CJGT from your app store to your phone in advance of this tournament and ensure you have registered correctly. If downloading for the first time you must complete a one-time only registration. Please note you are registering a JUNIOR GOLFER. If you are a parent registering on behalf of your junior golfer please click on the correct option box when asked if you are a JUNIOR GOLFER or PARENT/SPECTATOR. Incorrectly registering your player will lock him/her out of tournament scoring and his/her score may not be counted for this tournament. The app looks like the example below.

Once registered you can then search for the tournament which has now been updated and populated with players names and tee times. It is important that you check the app is showing your player name and tee time correctly and that the HOME page of the app gives you access to scoring. The example below is how it will look. If you cannot see the “Score Round” feature displayed you will NOT be able to score using the app and your tournament score may not be included. It is therefore extremely important that you contact us immediately to assist. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to resolve any issues on the day of tournament so please contact us today with any issues you are having! Most issues result in incorrect registration. If you don’t see the “Score Round” listed on the home page and you have registered as a Junior Golfer first check your log in details and email used are correct before contacting us.
