The LCJGT is open to boys and girls residing in a Lancaster Lebanon School District, ages 9 and over, and still enrolled in school. High school graduates are not eligible. All golfers will be required to attend a 90 minute rules clinic on either Thursday, May 12 (7pm, Four Seasons Banquet Room, Lancaster) or Wednesday, May 18 (7pm, Four Seasons Banquet Room, Lancaster) to be eligible for tournament play. A Rules Test will be administered at these clinics.

There will be a total of 5 Divisions (4 for boys and 2 for girls). At any of the events, a division may be eliminated if there are not enough sign-ups. Please note that 9-hole players will be limited to 18, per event. This includes the following divisions: Boys 9-10 Division, Girls 9-10 Division, Junior Junior Boys, and Junior Junior Girls.

** Golfers in the Junior-Junior Boys Division and Girls Division (ages 11-12) may request to play 18 holes. To qualify for 18 holes, they must be able to break 55 for a 9 hole score played during a regularly scheduled tour event. Once a player "plays-up" they may not go back to 9 holes. Requests and questions should be directed to the Tour Director

Participants may request to "play-up" after competing in their original division for one tournament. Request should be made to the Tour Director. Once a player "plays-up", they may not go back to their original division.

Age divisions will be determined and set by the date of LCJGT's first event.

LCJGT Championship Qualification:  Points are awarded at the conclusion of each event in order of finish as follows:  1^st place = 16 points; 2^nd place = 10 points; 3^rd place = 9 points; 4^th place = 8 points; places 5 through 19 will receive 7,6,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2 points respectively,  all finishes in 20^th place and beyond will receive one point each.  The top point earners in each age group (excluding nine hole golfers) will be invited to play in a championship final at seasons end.

Overall age group champions and top finishers will be awarded prizes based on a season long accumulation of points.  Points earned in the championship final will be doubled.  In rare circumstances, the Board of Directors reserves the right to award age group champion status, or other awards, to a participant who has accumulated something less than the highest points total.

A top 3 finish in any Senior or Junior Boy’s division event will automatically qualify that golfer for the championship.  A golfer must play in a minimum of 3 events in order to qualify for the season ending tour championship.  Nine hole golfers will not play in the championship.

Parental Membership:  Only junior golfers of members of the Lancaster County Junior Golf Tour are entitled to participate in tour events.
