The Mission

The East Mississippi Junior Golf Tour provides local junior golfers, ages 6 -18, an opportunity to be a member of an organization which will allow them to play in competitive tournaments that are affordable, professional, and fun. Each tournament and event will provide an opportunity for junior golfers to build a solid foundation, gain tournament experience and compete among their peers for the love of the game. The experience will help prepare junior golfers, if they so desire, to compete in any State or National event. EMJGT will also promote, fund and manage a scholarship program for college and/or junior golf instruction specifically for EMJGT Members. EMJGT will strive to provide scholarships to junior golfers that have participated as a member and uphold the values of the organization.
