Players Tour
Players Tour Description - The goal of the Players Tour is to have the top junior players in the state compete on golf courses set up appropriately for a high level of play. Invitations will be extended to the top finishers from the 2009 Player of the Year point list. Juniors must meet a handicap requirement to play on this tour. Boys must have an index of 8.1 and under and girls must be under 18.1. Course yardage is 6,400 - 6,800 for boys and 5,300 - 5,900 for girls. This is an Invite Only tour. If you meet the above handicap requirements, contact Andy Landenberger or Bill Ehn at the Section office to verify your handicap and make you eligible to register for Players Tour events. Juniors that are not members may also register online for these events. Events typically start at 8 a.m.
Bucket of Hope / Junior Tour events: The Bucket of Hope Junior Tour was started by Derek Schnarr to give the kids in Madison a chance to play some great golf courses and raise money for cancer research. In 2009, the Bucket of Hope raised over $10,000 to benefit the UW Carbone Cancer Center. Now the Wisconsin PGA Junior Foundation and The Bucket of Hope Tour have joined forces at a few junior events this summer. We are looking to donate even more money to cancer research this year. You will see these events marked on the entry form. These Junior Tour events will cost $40 members and $45 non-member price. Proceeds from these events will benefit the UW Carbone Cancer Research center in Madison.
Winners of 36 hole players tour events #1 will now get one AJGA tournament exemption.
