Elite Junior Tour (EJT)

Is EJT Your Road To A Golf Scholarship?

In 2008, Greater Sarasota Junior Golf Association President Mike McClellan noted that Sarasota junior golfers were rarely in the Top 20 in statewide tournaments, and that few Sarasota area juniors were recruited by college golf coaches.  Under his direction, the GSJGA created the Elite Junior Tour (EJT).

Wow!!  The Elite Junior Tour has certainly changed the competitiveness of Sarasota area juniors!  In 2013, only its fifth year of operation:

Last summer in 2012, EJT juniors had a ton of success!

Florida Jr. Match Play Championship:
Boys 16-18 Champion - an EJT junior
Boys 13-15 Champion  - an EJT junior
Runner-Up - an EJT junior

June 2012 H.S. Graduates - 15 EJT grads are now playing college golf as freshmen!

COST:

To play in one or more EJT events, you must belong to the Greater Sarasota Junior Golf Association ($25 one-time join fee for the year.   Then each EJT tournament requires a separate $35 entry fee......the reason for the low entry fee - EJT is a heavily subsidized charitable effort provided by the Greater Sarasota Area FSGA Tournament Committee members.

Winners from each division in all three EJT tournaments will win an exemption into a Florida Junior Tour event in the 2013-2014 season!
