      The ranking system that will be used is the junior golf scoreboard.  Scores will be posted with each event.  This will establish your place among many junior golfers within the country.  As an added bonus, all junior members are able to build their profile on this site.  This is free to you and creates some visibility for college scouts to view your achievements.   

      The 2010 Divisions are:  Division 1 – Boys (15-18); Division 2 – Boys and Girls (12-14); Division 1 – Girls (15-18).  These divisions will have 18 and 36 hole events.  Peewee golf leagues (8-11) will have 9-hole events.  2010 Schedule Events are as follows:  four 18-hole district qualifiers, district championships, 36-hole regionals, and AAU Virginia State Championship.
