The Mid Atlantic PGA Jr Tour (MAPGA) is a great organization that accommodates junior golfers of all levels. Their tournaments are played mainly during the in-season months (June-August). Expect to pay around $110.00 for membership and, depending on age, anywhere from $35.00 – $65.00 per tournament registration. The MAPGA Jr Tour tournaments have smaller fields and are generally for intermediate junior golfers looking for a chance to play in a competitive environment. I like to call organizations like this “gateway tours”, mainly because they offer players the opportunity to qualify for larger tournaments or a spot on a more competitive tour like AJGA, FCWT, or IJGT. Opportunities like these can be very beneficial for advanced high school golfers that are interested in possibly playing collegiate golf.
