Players are not allowed to rent motorized carts. There may be shuttle services provided at some events and players will be notified at the start if this applies to an event they are participating in. A two stroke penalty will be assessed for players riding on an unauthorized cart during a stipulated round. Pull carts are allowed as long as they are in compliance with the host course’s policy. Parents/spectators may rent carts if the course allows. However, ONLY 2 carts will be permitted per group. Carts will be rented to parents/spectators on a 1st come 1st serve basis. If there are already 2 carts rented for your group, no other carts will be issued.

Financial assistance is available to all players upon request. Eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Credits Issued:

Any credits that were issued to your player account must be used within the same calendar year.

Rocky Mountain Junior Tour is open to any junior golfer age 6-19*. Age divisions will be determined by the player’s birth year.

Boys: 10 & Under | 11-13 | 14-19*
Girls: 10 & Under | 11-13 | 14-19*

Age Division Policy:

A player’s age division is determined by his/her age during round two. A player can move up during the middle of the season. For example, if a player is 13 and turns 14 during the middle of the season, they will play the remainder of the season from the 14-19 division. Points do not roll over to another division. Players can earn points in two age divisions.

In the event the Boys 10 and under or Girls 10 and under divisions have one player in the field, that player will be moved up one division automatically for that event.

A “junior golfer ” is an amateur golfer who has not reached (i) the September 1 following graduation from secondary school or (ii) his 19th birthday, whichever comes first. (*a 19 year old junior may play if they have not started college)

In any case that a playoff is needed to break a tie during a regular season event, our tournament staff will use a scorecard playoff.

The winner will be decided by a comparison of the LAST NINE HOLES of second round scores (the last nine holes will be will be 10-18, even for a shotgun or double tee starting format). The winner will hold the lowest score. If a tie still exists after the last nine holes, then the winner will be decided by the last six holes. If a tie still exists, the winner will be decided by the last three holes. If a tie still exists, the winner will be decided by the last hole. If a tie still exists, the scorecard procedure will be applied to the first nine holes until a winner is decided.

Note: Our first priority is a sudden death playoff, but if for any reason a sudden death playoff cannot occur, (inclement weather, course availability, etc) then we will resort to a scorecard playoff.

We offer families discounts that have two or more junior golfers for our events*. Participants who register one player at the normal rate will be eligible to register their brother or sister at a 10% discount. This rate will only apply to those who have brothers and sisters in an effort to help families that have two or more children who are playing tournament golf. In order to receive this discount you must contact Donna at the RMJT office.

Register as normal for both (or all) siblings, after registration is complete please call or email Donna HERE requesting the sibling rate and disclose all registered golfers names. She will then retroactively apply the discount to the remaining fees before they are charged. If the office is not notified & the full rate is inevitably charged for each sibling, we are not permitted to correct to mistake.

*This discount is only available to members. Discount does not apply to the membership fee.

A tie for 1st place will be dealt with a by a sudden death playoff. Playoff holes will be decided by the committee based on what is available at the course. Ties for any other place will be handled according to the scorecard playoff procedure.

All tournament registration will take place online. Tournament registration for Rocky Mountain Junior Tour events will be accepted up to a day before the event or until the tournament is sold out.

A tournament that completes 18 holes by players within a division (boys 15-18, boys 11-14, girls 15-18, girls 11-14) is deemed a completed tournament. Therefore, no refund for the divisions that have completed the 18 holes. Rankings are at the discretion of the individual ranking system guidelines: GolfWeek, Junior Golf Scoreboard and AJGA for PBE awards. RMJT will make every effort to complete a minimum of 18 holes placing a priority on safety first.

If a tournament does not complete 18 holes using the above divisional policy, players will receive a refund of the tournament fee, less a $45 cancellation fee to cover tee gift and staffing costs. The net refund will be credited back to the credit card used to make payment. If a complete cancellation occurs before a tournament has begun, a full refund will be given to each player. In the event of a full cancellation, please allow up to 7 business days for refunds to be processed, due to field sizes. Note: a tournament has officially started once check-in begins before the first round

In the event that NO golf is played and the ENTIRE tournament is cancelled, RMJT will work with the course to reschedule at a later date. If rescheduling is not an option for RMJT or the course, the tournament fee will be applied back to the credit card that was originally used.

Did Not Start, No Show, Withdrawal, No Card, and Disqualification Policies

These definitions and policies are mandated and defined by the rankings organizations such as Golfweek and Junior Golf Scoreboard, and are recognized and followed by the RMJT. As of January 1, 2020, the TJGT will no longer be utilizing “Justified Withdrawal.”

Note: Players and parents need to be aware that none of the below delineations have any mathematical affect on a player ranking, other than the official score reported for the round(s).

Did Not Start – Not submitted for rankings (DNS):
If a player does not hit the first shot of the tournament for any reason, it will be recorded as a Did Not Start (DNS ) and will not submitted for the rankings.

No Show – Submitted for Rankings (NS):
If a player begins a tournament and completes one or more rounds, signs a scorecard, and does not show up for a subsequent tee time without contacting an official, it will be recorded as a No Show (NS) and all official round scores for the event will be submitted for rankings

Withdrawal – Submitted for Rankings (WD):
If a player begins a tournament and completes one or more rounds, signs a scorecard, and notifies an official they will not be going on without a justifiable and independently verifiable reason, it will be recorded as a Withdrawal (WD) and all official round scores for the event will be submitted for rankings.

No Card – Submitted for Rankings (NC):
If a player begins the tournament, and for any reason other than a justified withdrawal, fails to turn in a signed scorecard for a completed round, it will be recorded as a No Card (NC) and all official round scores for the event will be submitted for the rankings. ALL withdraws during the first round will be recorded as NC … there will be no “WD” designations from a player failing to finish the first round.

Disqualification – Submitted for Rankings (DQ):
If a player tees it up and commits a USGA Rules infraction during the course of play or unintentionally fails to sign a scorecard before leaving the scoring area it will be recorded as a Disqualification ( DQ ) and all official round scores will be submitted for the rankings.

If a player witnesses a rules violation, they must immediately alert the player in question and/or a Rules Official as to the possible infraction. Rules Officials and/or the Rules Committee will do everything within their power to immediately resolve rules violations and assess proper penalties during the round. Any rules violations that cannot be immediately addressed or solved by a Rules Official will be addressed at scoring and the proper penalty will be enforced.

If a player witnesses a potential rules violation and fails or declines to alert his/her group or a Rules Official before the completion of the hole in which the violation occurs, the maximum penalty allowed will be the general penalty (2 strokes) if it is deemed a violation did occur.

If there is disagreement within a group as to a rules violation and a Rules Official is not present, the player in question must play two balls under Rule 20.1, and a ruling will be given at scoring (or as soon as possible, as long as pace of play is not affected).

Rules Officials/the Rules Committee are instructed to gather all possible information regarding a possible rules violation and issue a ruling in accordance with USGA Rules and this document. In the event that a Rules Official truly cannot determine if a violation occurred, the Rules Official/Committee will issue no penalty to the player in question.

Players and spectators are to have minimal/no interaction during play. Patrons may assist in looking for a lost ball, but otherwise must stay on the cart path and/or far off the green during tournament play. Players are not to walk with spectators. If a spectator is observed walking with, talking to or giving advice (or appear to be) to a player:
(1) Rules officials may decide to issue an official verbal warning to the player and spectator.
(2) Upon second observance, a 1-shot penalty will be issued to the player.
(3) Upon third observance, the player will be disqualified.

Spectators are not allowed to comment or assist on any rulings on the golf course under any circumstance. If a spectator views a perceived rules violation, they may alert a rules official, and the rules official may decide to address the group, but no action will be taken against a player based solely on a reported violation by a spectator. It is the players’ responsibility to police their group and be aware of all rules. If a spectator is deemed to be behaving in an inappropriate manner for any reason – language, attitude, improper course etiquette, violating policies, etc. – he or she will be asked to leave the course by RMJT staff and course officials. The spectator may also be denied access to the course the following day, at RMJT staff discretion.

Only golf balls that have been tested and are on the current list of USGA Conforming Golf Balls may be used. All clubs must meet USGA specifications.

Penalty – Disqualification.

There is no stroke limit in the Rocky Mountain Junior Golf Tour.

Distance-only measuring devices and range finders are allowed in Rocky Mountain Junior Golf Tour events.

Use of cell phones by players, parents or spectators will not be permitted at any time during tournament play. IPOD and MP3 players are not permitted. Violation of this rule can result in disqualification.

The pace of play at our events is very important to us. To alleviate pace of play issues, please keep in mind the general amount of time allotted for each hole:

• Par 5: 17 minutes
• Par 4: 15 minutes
• Par 3: 13 minutes

RMJT PACE OF PLAY POLICY

Players will be given 40 seconds to play a shot once it is their turn If a player/group is deemed to be off-pace, the following will occur

(1) The group will be warned by a rules official they are out of position, and given a certain number of holes to get back on pace (usually 2-3 holes).

(2) If the group fails to get back on place, each player will be notified and put on the clock, having 40 seconds to hit their shot.

(3) One bad time will resort in a warning; a second bad time will result in a 1-stroke penalty for the player. Subsequent bad times will result in a general penalty (2 strokes)

(4) Gross negligence of the pace of play may result in a disqualification. The tournament committee will, at its discretion, take into account any time-altering factors such as host course problems, weather conditions and any unforeseeable time obstacles.
