Final Results and Winnings!

We have made some tournament policy changes to improve overall player rankings at both the Junior Golf Scoreboard and the AJGA.  These changes are being made to improve NCJT tour members chances of being recruited to play College Golf.

  The Junior Golf Scoreboard (JGS) maintains the junior rankings for players worldwide and we post all of our Osborne Junior Series (OJS) events to their service, which allows our NCJT tour members to be included in the junior world rankings without having to travel and pay much higher entry fees to earn status.   Players are required to have 4 events per year to be included in the rankings.  To learn more about JGS Rankings Click Here.

  Junior Golf Association (AJGA) provides Performance Stars to tournaments like our OJS events.  Those stars can be used to improve a players eligibility to play in an AJGA event with an elite field of national level junior players.  If you review our College Golf tab it mentions that a few of these  types of events can be helpful to a players quest to play college golf.  Trying to play nationally of a regular basis may not be the best play for most who are looking to improve their college golf chances.  If you are capable of winning or finishing in the top 5 in national level competitions it can be hugely helpful, but finishes outside the top 10 are not going to be as valuable as winning at a regional level (similar to a NCJT event).  See of our College Golf section for more details on this and much more.

Earn an AJGA Star at OJS#3 MillGlen this week in the Girls Overall division.  The Sand Ridge Junior Invitational is the next possible Star competition for Boys.   Our Classic Cup winner for Boys 16-19 and Grils 16-19 will also win 2 Stars for each.  Play more to win more!

Here’s a summary of the NCJT Tournament Policy changes:

• All Boys 14 and up will play the same tee markers at all events.  Minimum course length of 6,400 yards when possible.
• All Boys 14 and up will be combined into one division for reporting purposes to the JGS and AJGA.
• Boys 16-19 and Boys 14-15 age divisions will still be used for NCJT Classic Cup Points and NCJT awards.  The Overall Boys division will only be used for reporting to JGS and AJGA.
• Boys 13 and under will not be part of the Overall Boys and will continue to play from a forward set of tee markers.  Course length – 5,500 to 6,000 yards
• An Overall Girls division will be used for all OJS events.  Minimum course length of 5,500 yards.
• Girls 16-19 and Girls 15&U age divisions will still be used for NCJT Classic Cup Points and NCJT awards.  The Overall Girls division will only be used for reporting to JGS and AJGA.
• If any age division, for a single day event, does not have a minimum field of 5 then it will be combined with another age division.
• OJS event require a minimum field size of 5 players.  Anytime the minimum is not met the OJS event for that age division will be cancelled and credits issued to the participant

Good luck and we’ll see you on Tour!

The Joe Haase Cup will be held at Firestone CC on May 10th and it sounds like the NCJT team is ready to capture the Cup for the 6th time this year.  “We stack up well in most every match and I think we have the right mix of outstanding players in every division” says Tony Milam, NCJT Tour Director,  “A lot of our players finished well competitively during the fall golf season and I think we’ll see some outstanding play from some of those, that started peaking last fall, at next week’s Cup matches.  To win at match play, you have to be a gritty player capable of grinding hard at tough points in a match.  Our team is full of gritty grinding players, so I like our chances.”

The team spirit is strong too, a NCJT player found some valuable information on Firestone’s website and wanted us to share it will the rest of his teammates.  Please check out the FIRESTONE COURSE WALK  here.

Here’s the NCJT Joe Haase Cup Team Roster:   GOOD LUCK TEAM!

What a Masters for Jordan Spieth:  A solo wire-to-wire win (first since 1976), set record for best 36-holes (-14), best 54-holes (-16) and tied record for best 72 holes (-18), also set record for reaching most under par (-19), and set record for most birdies (28).  He was under par on every single nine holes of the tournament.  He is now #2 in the world!  What a Masters!

As a junior golfer, Spieth won two US Junior Amateurs.  He and Tiger Woods are the only two to ever win this prestigious national championship multiple times.  Tiger won it 3 straight years and then won 3 straight US Amateurs titles (1991-1996) before turning pro.  It proves that junior golf can lead to greatness!

All of today’s excitement also helped Emmett Weil to victory in the NCJT Masters Pool for tour members.  He team finished 53 under par and he won by 4 strokes.  The final results for this pick 6 contest is below.

— Emmett won $60 credit and a tour towel

In the second NCJT Masters contest, which was open to anyone and a pick 12 player contest, Devon Skufca took the title.  His team finished at 77 under par and he won by 5 strokes.  In this contest Emmett finished last, after winning the other pool.  Crazy stuff!
