During the weekend, the club hosted a past Champions Dinner. It was a highlight of the tournament for all former champions and was always a memorable occasion.
At the Champions Dinner in 1962, a discussion evolved that there should be a Birmingham Golf Association with the following objectives: to provide clubs group purchasing for sand, seed, fertilizers, etc. to obtain lower costs per club; to serve as a clearing house for clubs to avoid conflicts of dates in scheduling events;to conduct an annual championship and junior championship; to stage exhibitions for the enjoyment of members in member clubs; and to raise funds for worthy causes, especially junior golf.

As noted in the accompanying BGA Scholarship form and list of requirements, we actively encourage all eligible high school seniors who will graduate in 2021 to apply for the BGA Scholarship. If you don't apply, you obviously can't be considered. Most importantly, you must have played a minimum of three years (2021 can be your third year) on the BGA Junior Tour.
Your First Tournament
Report
The BGA Junior Tour is a developmental tour. Some children have played in quite a few tournaments; for some this year on the BGA will be their first ever tournament experience. Try not to worry about your score too much; for many of you you are just getting used to playing in tournaments; walking 18 holes (or nine holes); learning new courses; making new friends, etc.
Rules and Regulations
Report
All events have a maximum number of players allowed in each age division. Each player gets entry into up to six events for their entry fee, but there is also the option to sign up for "extra events" if space permits. This begins one month after initial sign up opens. The places are filled on a first come, first serve basis.

What if my child is not yet 10 years old? We will decide with you whether or not your child is ready to participate based on his/her ability. Please contact us to discuss your situation. Is this tour just for boys? No, girls are welcomed and our girls divisions have grown every year. We have both a girls nine-hole, ages 10-19 age division and a girls 18-hole, ages 13-19 age division.
