Texas Junior Golf Tour

The "Red River Series" of tournaments is a group of summer 2-day tournaments around the state of Oklahoma co-created, co-created and co-branded by the Texas Jr Golf Tour and Oklahoma Jr Golf Tour to continue and expand the two tours' long-standing partnership. 

All Red River Series tournaments will be open to all Oklahoma/OJGT players (and surrounding state players), ages 11-18. Players are not required to be a member of the TJGT or OJGT to participate, nor will there be any additional cost to these events for non-members. To ensure ample opportunity of all OK/KS/AR/MO/LA players that want to register, Red River Series events will restricted for current TJGT/TX players for the first few months of registration. If, 2-3 weeks before each event, slots are still available, registration will be opened to all players. 

At each Red River Series event, players will be treated to 36 holes of golf with JGS rankings and (at select tournaments) other possible stars and points on the line. All players will receive a tee gift package that includes a 6-Ball pack of Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball and another exclusive gift from the TJGT/OJGT partnership. Snacks and water will be provided on the first tee, as well as hydration stations across the golf course. 

Please see other information tabs below for cancellation deadlines, Live Scoring info, rankings details and other TJGT policies and procedures. 

The TJGT tournament staff reserves the right to alter the yardage posted come tournament time for any reason - weather, course conditions, pace of play, etc - but will strive to have the competition tees set as close to, if not exactly on, the yardages posted for each division.

It is the responsibility of the player when playing a practice round to practice from the yardage posted on the TJGT website; tournament tees are set the day of the first round, not before. The TJGT is not responsible for where the tees are set at a golf course on non-tournament days; we recommend playing a practice round from the yardage specified on the tournament information page, regardless of where course tees are set on a given day, as those tees may not accurately reflect the yardage played during the tournament.

SPECTATOR/PLAYER INTERACTION
Players and spectators are not to have interaction during play. Per USGA Rule 10.2, the soliciting of “advice” by a player or giving advice or discussions between player and spectator that may be construed as advice is prohibited. The penalty for breach of Rule 10.2 is the General Penalty (2 strokes). Understand, there is no warning associated with Rule 10.2 – first breach is an immediate 2 stroke penalty. Players witnessing a violation under the Player-Spectator policy are instructed to inform the player in question immediately and contact a rules official as quickly as possible.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES
In accordance with USGA Rules of Golf, the Note under Rule 14-3 for all TJGT Events: Therefore, a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. If a player uses a device that measures more than distance, the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional information function is actually used.
