Following high school, many JGA Members continue playing golf in different ways where some have the opportunity to represent their college or university playing on the golf team. As we round out 2011, and make way for 2012, high school seniors in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts solidify their choice for higher education which includes further development in the game of golf.
The Connecticut Section PGA Junior Golf TOUR (JGT) is comprised of 16 tournaments. Three additional 12 & Under Invitationals, Pro-Junior Championship, and a season-ending TOUR championship, the Jack Kelly Junior PGA Tournament of Champions. These junior tournaments are held within the boundaries of the Connecticut Section (including Western Massachusetts, and excluding lower FairfieldCounty).
Each JGT tournament is owned and operated indepently, but agrees to conduct its tournament within the TOUR Rules and Regulations that are established by The PGA. The PGA Junior Golf TOUR Tournament Director oversees each tournament competition and manages the season-long Player of the Year competitions for boys and girls, ages 13-18.
