Golf Fairfax Launches Junior Tournament Series

young golfer

This summer, junior golfers across Fairfax County will have a new opportunity to compete, improve and shine with the launch of the Golf Fairfax Junior Tournament Series, or GFJTS. Designed for players ages 10–18, the series offers structured competition and an opportunity to qualify and compete in a season-ending Series Championship.

GFJTS Series Details:

  • Nine tournaments across six Fairfax County golf courses.
  • Each player competes in five events.
  • Divisions: ages 10–12, 13–15 and 16–18.
  • Points are earned at each event and contribute to overall standings.
  • Format modeled after the PGA TOUR’s FedEx Cup.
  • Top performers qualify for the Series Championship.

Players will earn points based on their finishes in each tournament, with cumulative totals determining advancement to the Series Championship held at Laurel Hill Golf Club. Top finishers at each event will receive awards, and division champions will be recognized as the top junior golfers in Fairfax County, with their names etched on a perpetual trophy.

"We wanted to create an opportunity for junior golfers to experience competitive play in a fun, structured and affordable way," said Michael Mauk, PGA Professional at Pinecrest Golf Course and GFJTS co-director.

The series also helps players prepare for school competition, especially those planning to try out for middle or high school teams in the fall.

"High school golf is more than just playing for a team," said Tim Sample, GFJTS co-director, Golf Fairfax instructor and Head Varsity Golf Coach at Meridian High School. "It’s about building technical skills while learning to manage the pressure of competition week-to-week. Players in this series will enter tryouts more prepared and confident."

Registration for the Golf Fairfax Junior Tournament Series opened April 1 and runs through May 31, with participation capped at 200 players. The first tournament tees off June 23 at 10 a.m. at Jefferson District Golf Course.
