Membership Information
To
service the various needs of junior golfers, the AJGA provides
three levels of membership
Junior Membership
Junior Plus Membership
Future Player Membership
The
AJGA recommends the standard Junior Membership for those who
have not yet reached their sophomore year of high school.
The
Junior Plus Membership is ideal for high school
sophomores and juniors who are looking to earn college golf scholarships.
It is available to all junior golfers, although seniors
will not derive the full benefit of this membership. Younger
players may wish to become Junior Plus Members in order
to better prepare themselves for the recruiting process
yet to come.
The
Future Player Membership is a non-playing membership for juniors
who are either not old enough to compete in AJGA events or
have no intention of applying to play in AJGA tournaments.
This offers an opportunity for younger players to keep abreast
of AJGA events and programs.
AJGA
Player Services can provide guidance to help juniors select
the appropriate membership level.
