The Northern Illinois Junior Golf Tour

The Northern Illinois Junior Golf Tour is an organization that offers juniors an opportunity to learn to play golf in a competitive atmosphere while developing their game for high school and college. Before a player becomes a member they must attend rules seminar that is held before each season. While learning to play competitively, the NIJGT stresses friendliness and hopes that these competitors may turn into new friends.

We hold 14-18 events during the summer months. There is a senior division of 17-18 year olds and a junior division of 16 and under with a boys and girls section for each division. At each event the first three places in each division will receive a trophy, all members also will receive points depending on where they finished, which will determine the Player of the Year in each division. We also try to give each player something at most every event from a sleeve of balls, range use or lunch.

We are a Web based organization where not only all our rules and polices can be read, but all applications from becoming a member to each individual event can be printed. This could not have been possible without the help of many individuals who have given their time to help us. You can find their names, and those of other companies that have also helped us, on our Web site on the benefactors page. Let us not forget the golf courses, as without their support we would have no place to play. We feel they truly believe our motto “juniors are the future.”

While there are many other fine organizations out there that help promote junior golf, we feel that by limiting our membership we can service our kids much better. We have yet to turn anyone away that wishes to play as long as we get their application on time, and we hope to keep it that way as long as we can.
