Junior Championship Event History
Girls' Championship Event History
Since 1976, the GSGA and the South Carolina Golf Association meet each summer to compete in the Georgia-South Carolina Junior Challenge Match. This two-day match play competition is held alternately in Georgia and South Carolina. The top eight finishers from the Junior Championship are named to the Georgia Team. This event is believed to be the first interstate competition for juniors offered in the United States and can list several collegiate and PGA TOUR stars among its former participants.
The Georgia-South Carolina Girls' Junior Challenge Match began in 2006 as a partnership of the GSGA and Women's South Carolina Golf Association. The top four finishers from the Georgia Girls' Championship qualify to represent the state at this annual match-play competition. The event alternates between sites in Georgia and South Carolina.
The GSGA annually conducts qualifying rounds for the Unites States Golf Association's Junior and Girls' Junior Amateur Championships. To receive an entry form for the current year's championships, please contact the USGA at (800) 222-8742 or visit the website link above.
