2010 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.
