ALL DIVISIONS
------------------------------------

We're offering a large spectrum of divisions this year. Please be advised: If the division you select doesn't reach four competitors you will be provided the option to join a division with more competitors or offered a full refund.

------------------------------------
JUNIORS AND PARENTS OF JUNIORS

We'd really like to provide our Junior competitors with the best experience possible. Both Lloyd Park and WJ Homestead are very challenging courses. Park 96 has offered to accommodate our younger players for at least one round on Saturday. I'm sure if we have an organized group of juniors we might even pull off two rounds over the weekend. Obviously, most of our Juniors have parents who are also competitors. We can work with you to ensure everyone gets to play!

If we see registrations we will organize volunteers to follow the players during their rounds so to free up those parents that also want to compete.

Juniors Info: https://www.pdga.com/rules/competition-manual/113

Please reach out to Lobo if you have any questions or concerns prior to registration.
