This Championship is open to girls who have reached their ninth birthday but not their nineteenth birthday by June 21, 2009, who are residents of Alabama and have not entered college.  The WAGA would like all junior golfers to post all 9 and 18 hole scores and secure a USGA Handicap Index issued through a licensed golf club.  All 18-hole players will be required to have an established USGA Handicap Index. 

1. All entries must be filed on the official Entry Application form electronically at www.womensalabamagolf.com    All entries must be submitted by Monday, June 8, 2009.

2. An entry fee of $75.00 must accompany the entry application.

3. Withdrawal:  If an applicant withdraws prior to June 8, 2009, the entry fee will be refunded upon request subject to a $25.00 administrative fee.  No refunds will be made for withdrawals after 5:00 p.m., June 8, 2009.

The Junior Championship shall be three (3) days of stroke play with tee times.  Flights of 8-12 will be decided after the second day of play depending on the number of contestants.  Ties for the final place for the championship flight will result in an immediate hole-by-hole playoff.  In the event of ties in the lower flights, the Championship Committee shall determine the place by blind draw.  If a tie exists upon completion of play, all ties for first place shall be broken by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff.  All other ties will be broken by the USGA Recommended Tie Breaker Procedure (Appendix I, 11(c)). 

There will be three divisions: 18-Hole Division,  9-Hole Short Course Division and 9-Hole Division.  The 9-Hole Short Course Division is limited to girls nine through ten years of age.  All 18 hole players must have a USGA handicap  and 9-Hole contestants must have a USGA Handicap Index or must submit five 9-hole scores.  Age and handicap will determine the players ability to play 18 or 9 holes. The lowest 36 USGA Handicap Indexes may be required to compete in the 18 Hole division. 
 

All competition will be played in accordance with the United States Golf Association Rules of Golf.  Only members of the WAGA Rules Committee shall be authorized to give ruling during play of a Championship.  Final decisions are left to the Championship Committee. 

Any entry is subject to rejection at any time, either before or during the Championship by the Championship Committee of the Women's Alabama Golf Association.  In the case of misconduct, parents will be notified and the contestant will be subject to disqualification.  In return for being allowed to play in this Championship, the participants expressly assume all risk of injury and loss and agree to hold harmless the officers, directors, members of the WAGA and the Host Club and to indemnify them from any and all liability in connection therewith.
