Boys' Division 

Jake Manelas - 2 under-par, 70

Jake Manelas did not waste any time capturing his first Florida Junior Tour victory! In his first event on the FJT, Jake came out of the gate firing at the flags. On his front nine alone, Jake carded 3 birdies leading to an opening nine hole score of 2 under-par, 34. A steady back nine, including just 1 birdie and 1 bogey gave Jake a very impressive round of 2 under-par, 70. Jake is only the second player in the 10-12 age division to post an under-par round! Pavel Tsar and Max Fonseca finished in a tie for second four strokes behind Manelas with rounds of 2 over-par, 74.

Girls' Division

Morgan Rodriguez - 8 over-par, 80

Morgan Rodriguez, similar to Jake, was also playing in her first Florida Junior Tour event this weekend. After her opening nine hole score of 5 over-par, 41, Morgan started to make her charge on the closing nine holes. With back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14, Morgan played the last 6 holes of her round at 1 under-par placing her in a tie with past FJT Champion, Brianna Castaldi. Morgan and Brianna headed to the 18th hole for the playoff, a slight dogleg right par-4 with a green guarded by numerous bunkers. After both pitching their third shots onto the green, Brianna narrowly missed her 12 footer for par leaving Morgan with a testy 4 foot putt for the win. Morgan made a confident stroke on the 4 footer and her ball found the bottom of the hole for her first victory on the Florida Junior Tour.

Five FJT Standards

Competing at beautiful clubs around the state is a privilege and it is important for all of our players and parents to place value on the following five duties:

  • Say please and thank you to the club staff and our volunteers
  • Rake bunkers
  • Fix ball marks
  • Step on/repair your divots
  • Throw away your garbage! There should never be trash on the ground anywhere on the course (place trash in waste receptacles, golf carts or even your bag if no other place is available).

Showing Appreciation and Proper Manners - At all courses where juniors play, they should show appreciation to the members and staff. To all of our junior players, let's show the clubs that you are not only the most talented golfers in the country, but also the most respectful. A "thank you" to the club and taking care of the course are the best ways to make a positive impression on the club, fellow players, coaches and spectators.

Practice Rounds

Practice rounds are not arranged for the 10-12 age division events. At this point in your junior golf career, we do not find it necessary to spend hours and hours on the competition course in the days leading up to the event. Playing an event without seeing the course will help you learn course management, how to use a yardage book and think your way around a golf course.

Always remember, the proper place to practice your golf swing is on the driving range. Hitting multiple shots on the course, not filling divots, and not repairing ball marks are unacceptable and may cause removal from the tournament without a refund.

Players are not allowed to drive golf carts (must be 18 years old to drive a cart).
