JGS qualifying events can be any 36-hole competition that is listed on the JGS event calendar from any tour (nationwide). If you are close to a world ranking, you can look for additional events on the JSG event calendar. Sorry, but high school competition does not qualify for world rankings, but their are events after high school and in the early spring to gain that ranking status, search the Ohio tournament listing at JGS. For any player looking to play in college, especially at the division 1 level, a world ranking is vital to a player’s chances of getting recruited. Best of luck on the quest to play in college!
