To participate, juniors must have an active Vermont GHIN handicap index and a Vermont Junior Tour Membership.
Registration for Junior Tour Membership begins in February and registration for Junior Tour events usually begins mid-March. Juniors can register for a free GHIN Handicap Index through a VSWGA member club or a non-real estate club such as Lakeside through the Vermont Golf Association.

PGA Junior Leagues in Vermont
Several clubs around the state host summer youth golf programs taught by PGA professionals committed to putting safety first and creating fun and inclusive experiences for golfers. The PGA Junior League is open to girls and boys (17 and under) of all skill levels and abilities.
During PGA Junior League matches, teams play 9-hole matches in a two-person scramble format, allowing girls to learn the game in a relaxed environment. Junior girls with little to no experience with golf are encouraged to participate. These opportunities are intended to form a basis for learning the game, skill development and, most of all – fun!
