i was wondering if there was any tourneys for young players like around the age of 19 because im 19 and i wanted to see how i match up against players that are of my age. i shoot as a 7 1/2 handicap at tournaments here in chicago
any tourneys for young players
- Thread starter Varsity2016
- Start date
I play on a junior tour in illinois and iowa. its 18 and under though we have about 5 really good players on the tour one is ryan beanke who got 8th at the bca junior nationals and won the 17 and under nationals for the vena junior championships.
Junior Tournaments
I think you are in luck, as the BCA has just announced that the new age bracket for the Junior Nationals will be 19 and under. This is to match the age limit used in the World Junior Competition. I would expect that the Junior Tour in the Orlando, Florida area will follow with this lead (if he runs the Tour this year). If not, there will be plenty of qualifiers throughout the USA starting around March of 2006. Make plans to enter as many qualifiers as you can.
With all of this said, let me add that most of the junior players age 16 and up are more than capable of winning open tournaments with adults of all ages. Check out Sylver Ochoa, Justin Bergman, or many others that routinely take down big tournaments. These guys may (or may not) still be juniors, but when they were, they certainly didn't need any handicap with the adults.
If you decide to play in the qualifiers, I wish you the very Best
