10-12 Age Division
$45 entry fee
Membership is NOT required

The Florida Junior Tour heads to the Harbourside Course to play the Red Hawk and White Egret nines at Longboat Key Club for the second 10-12 event of the year. This 27-hole facility was designed by notable architect, Willard Byrd. Bordering Sarasota Bay, this award-winning golf course plays through strands of oak, sabel palm, fiddle-leaf palm, Washington palm, fig, palmetto and southern pine. The tree-lined fairways and swirling winds will put a premium on shot-making and course strategy, while the prevailing breezes from the Gulf of Mexico keep Harbourside a refreshing challenge year round.

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).
