With the local golf season now in full swing, RDGA junior golfers are hitting the local links and getting ready to travel the “Road to the 2018 RDGA Junior Championships” at Ontario Golf Club in July. HOWEVER – it’s important to note that the RDGA Junior Tournament Schedule isn’t just about the Junior Championship, even though that event is open to junior golfers of all skill levels. The RDGA Junior Classics and Pee Wee Classics are casual, fun entry-level events that are perfect for any junior golfer, from beginners to more experienced players.
 
One new feature about this year’s junior schedule: The RDGA is using a new scoring and registration system in 2018 – one that includes fun features such as LIVE scoring that players can follow on any mobile device. But – in order to register for an RDGA event, each player must open a FREE player profile using the new system.
