Junior Development Tour offers a non-intimidating, FUN, focused, junior golf environment purposed to foster friendships, inspire commitment and offer guidance in skill development. JDT events include shortened golf courses, stroke limits, parent caddies, levels of progressions, and rules of golf learning components.
What to Expect at a JDT Event?
Each JDT event will offer those in attendance the opportunity to learn the rules & regulations of golf, and to further the junior’s skill development during the on-course 9-hole play. The type of learning component will vary from event to keep the format from getting stagnant over the course of the year.
