AJGA

[mparrish91]

I just started trying qualifiers and its hard to qualify the last two I tried the highest score that got in was 73

Also are there other way I can get into some AJGA tournaments

[WFUGolfer15]

If you cant qualify to get into one then dont really worry getting into one competition is twice as fierce in the actual tournaments

[RJC59]

why not play in tournaments that are better suited for you and you have a chance at winning?

[djt1532]

Play in some other tournaments that can get you AJGA status stars. Also try to get into preseason events to earn stars or exemptions.

[mparrish91]

I know that the AJGA is tough but u gotta do it if you wanna play college golf and I do play in tournaments that I have chances in winning and I think ima try other tournaments that offer ajga cred thanks

[Missinglink08]

Play in NON-AJGA tournaments that are nationally ranked and don't take such a hard status to get into them..... go on the Performance based list from AJGA and there are about 50 tournaments that they have that can get you AJGA status. Good Luck

[SacTown24]

naw- u dont HAVE to play in AJGA to play college golf- r u kidding?

[WFUGolfer15]

Other Good Options Would Be IJGT which is Also FIRECE Competition,

Your Local Tours

Qualifiers for other tournaments and just some state tournaments

Couldnt agree more. I never touched an AJGA tournament. That stuff doesnt mean as much as being able to play does. Im a plus handicap so college golf is an option. I break par more often than not, not many colleges pass up on guys that play like that regardless of AJGA status or not.

It depends what level you want to play at. If you want to play at the top tier D-1 programs, the biggest stage in college golf, then you have to have proven yourself by playing on the biggest stage in Junior Golf: the AJGA. If programs like the top D-1 schools aren't for you, then you have a lot of options in terms of tournaments that aren't the AJGA and still get recognized by coaches. The IJGT and FCWT are great national alternatives to the AJGA. Basically any tournament you can play well in that is ranked by Junior Golf Scoreboard is a good tournament. Why play in an AJGA if you are going to shoot poorly and have it affect your ranking? I would argue that you have to play in tournaments, that high school golf and having a low index are not enough, but you don't need to feel like you have to play the AJGA. I played one AJGA, a couple IJGT's, but mostly my state Junior tour and I had plenty of coaches interested.

Not trying to turn this into an arguement or anything but I disagree again. I never played any of those big tournaments and I got offers to play college golf from colleges all the way in Indiana. (I live in Texas)

[Cameron Circle T]

Yes, and congratulations on your offers, but OSU's (oklahoma state) new coach as well as M. Holder, Georgia Tech's B. Heppler, Florida's B. Alexander, pretty much pick their guys out of AJGA, so while you may have gotten offers from schools in Indiana, and I don't know which schools...those guys want the Nationally Ranked guys that are playing regularly in AJGA's and finishing top in them.

 

 

So while you can disagree, Little is actually quite right when he says the TOP of the D-1 pick their guys from nationally ranked AJGA competitors, not all D-1 works this way though, and the other divisions will certainly take other tournaments.

[TM golf guy]

I got local offers too... I was just stating that I got offers from all over and I never played any nationally recognized tournaments. I know that placing well in AJGA is the best way to get a nod from a D-1 school but for those of us that cant afford AJGA its nice to know that that isnt the only way to get offers.

[Cameron Circle T]

where you headed to go tmag boy 182

[TM golf guy]

Texas A&M. Im not even sure if Im gonna play golf. I talked to the coach and he told me I could, but it really depends on school. I want a good job and dont want golf to stop me from getting grades.

[Cameron Circle T]

Ahh yeah they have some good players, bobby gates played over here in florida and went to A and M....I can certainly understand the school thing...playing golf at a school like that takes up a ton of time...its like having a full time job and trying to get school in....good luck man.

[TM golf guy]

Thanks. Im doing the whole Aerospace Engineering thing and taking 17 hours the first semester. So Ill know pretty quick whether or not I wanna play golf.

[littleprov1x]

Cameron Circle T has got it right: I meant to be picked by the best schools you have to have played the best tournaments. I played one AJGA, didn't do that well, and most of my tournaments were state, not national tournaments, and I talked to a few D-1 coaches, before deciding on D-3. National tournaments are not a necessity, but it definitely helps in terms of getting your name out there.

[GehenHerzog]

I had an AJGA today, shot 71 with 33 f****** putts. I had 3 one putts and the rest 2 putts. Those 3 one putts combined for a length of 18 feet.

[Cameron Circle T]

Yea I played North-South, didn't play too bad but the 2nd day I got sick because of the heat and would have withdrawn if we weren't playing #2 the next day.

 

I shot 74-81-77

 

we played #8 the first day, #5 the second day and #2 the 3rd day.

 

It was 101*, 103* (with heat index of 115), and 99*

There was a 2 hour rain delay after I got finished, and they went back out at 4:30.

 

Alright, the results are up now

good shooting today... there are alot of low scores out there

[GehenHerzog]

71 again today. I didn't hit it as good as yesterday. I still have only made one putt outside of 10 feet. I have had 64 putts in 2 days.

 

I missed a few birdie putts from 10-15 ft that I just misread and one from 6 feet on hole 15. I could have easily shot 67 both days if I could make some putts
