Point System for Girls' Junior Player of the Year - MASSGOLF

In order to be eligible to receive Girls’ Junior Player of the Year points, players must compete in at least one Mass Golf sponsored event included in the point system (including qualifiers). Any player who is exempt into a USGA Championship Proper will earn the points associated with qualifying for each respective USGA Championship Proper. Player of the Year points for Four-Ball events are awarded to teams consisting of two (2) junior players (points will not be awarded to junior individuals). The final decision of the Girls’ Junior Player of the Year rests with the Mass Golf Board of Directors.
