At our Team Challenges, more is at stake, making each Team Challenge very competitive. For further explanation of the HJGT point values, please visit hjgt.org for a full points explanation.
As our first Team Challenge tournament, HJGT is happy to provide an additional playing opportunity outside their normal realm of administering events for junior golfers. This sort of format allows the HJGT to differentiate their season of events more than it already is with more options for juniors to pursue their dreams to playing college golf and soaring beyond. With this as the first Team Challenge, HJGT wishes for all junior golfers in the area to come share the history of this event and gather a team of five players to compete against other top teams. Please note that all players on a team do not have to be from the same age division but all players on each team will play from their respective yardages as assigned by their division. For more information on the format of the team challenge visit hjgt.org or call the headquarters at (904) 379-2697.

At stake during this tournament are Junior Golf Scoreboard Rankings (JGS), AJGA Performance Stars if the respective field sizes are met within each age division, also a prize purse worth $500 for future tournament registration to Hurricane events will be awarded to the winning team, and an automatic bid into the 2014 Tour Championship for the top finisher in each age group, as well as the top 10 finishers from each division will receive points toward year end honors which include state teams, ALL HJGT teams, and Hurricane Cup Points.
