How do I make arrangements for a practice round?

Arrangements for tournament practice round tee times are to be made by calling the golf shop of the host golf club. Golf shop phone numbers and information on when to call are provided on each specific tournament’s information page. The IMG Junior Golf Tour recommends making practice round tee time reservations as early as possible to ensure availability.

For shotgun starts, players do not need to make arrangements prior to the practice round day. Players may sign up for a starting hole assignment at registration prior to the practice round shotgun.

Are qualified rules officials available at the tournaments?

Yes. Setting up and administering competitions under the Rules of Golf is extremely important to us. Proper course marking and implementation of the Rules of Golf is essential to the integrity of the competition, as well as the educational development of our players. 

Our staff thoroughly marks each golf course (Water Hazards, Out of Bounds, etc.) in advance of the competition to ensure consistent and proper implementation of the Rules.

A Rules Committee is established for every event under the direction of the Tournament Director and a Senior Rules Official. Rules Officials rove the course during competition to implement our pace of play and code of conduct policies and provide assistance when needed. The exact number of officials varies at each tournament.
