A: Junior members are divided into three age groups. Each group is supervised while on the golf course by Golf, Inc. staffers (mostly college students). They see that the Juniors tee off on time and keep moving. The three age divisions are:

Group A – All participants have completed grades 3-5.

Group B – All who have completed grades 6-8.

Group C – All who completed grades 9-11.
