CITY OF ELGIN PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE - 17U

Bowes Creek and The Highlands PGA Jr. League

The program is 5 weeks long and will be held during the months of June and July at The Highlands. We anticipate having 1 team but that will be determined after registration closes. Golf Staff will then select teams based upon previous year's participation if applicable.  The league includes PGA Instruction, a weekly practice, 5 competitive matches with range balls, on-course practice and spectator golf carts for home matches.  

PGA Jr Match Rules 

  •  - The PGA Jr. League (PGA JLG) uses a two-person scramble format for team games.  Each team is made up of two-person pairs, or three if a substitute is included.
  •  - Both players in a pair hit drives, and the best shot is selected by the player. Each player then plays from that spot until the ball is holed.
  •  - Ball position can be moved up to one club length in the same turf conditions but cannot be moved closer to the hole.
  •  - If team gets a double bogie, the players pick up their balls and a double bogie is recorded on the scorecard.    
  •  - A natural double bogie beats a bogie pickup.  
  •  - Players get 2 shots out of sand traps.  If the ball is in the sand after 2 shots, the ball is picked up and placed outside the sand trap not closer to the hole.  

PGA Jr Scoring Rules 

  •  - PGA Jr. League utilizes match play scoring, focusing on performance vs. a score-to-par as is traditional with golf. 
  •  - Each match is broken into three flags, each consisting of three holes in a row.
  •  - Each team has the opportunity to earn points at the end of each flag.
  •  - Matches consist of 9 holes, or 3 flags, and 1 point is awarded per flag.
  •  - If a flag is tied, a half point is awarded to each team.
  •  

The fee for the Fall League is $355.00
