American Junior Golf Association
Preseason Junior at Cripple Creek
- Tournament Information
- HOUSING
- To hopefully ease the process of finding a hotel room for you, the AJGA has listed some of the hotels that the AJGA considered using as host hotels and appear to be up to the AJGA standard. Please understand though, none of these are a host hotel, nor has an AJGA staff member stayed there – these are simply helpful recommendations to be of as much assistance as possible.
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS BETHANY BEACH: $164 7 miles
BEST WESTERN GOLD LEAF : $149 (discounted rate for the AJGA) 17 miles
THE BELLMOOR: $269 19 miles
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS REHOBOTH BEACH: $159 20 miles
ATLANTIC SANDS HOTEL: $160 20 miles
Another option available to players are rental properties in the area. The AJGA has worked with Prudential Gallo, Realtors and at the following website you can see available properties: http://www.prugallo.com/rental/The_Peninsula/1/17/results.htm. They can be contacted directly at 800-768-2289, or by email lewesrentals@prugallo.com. Please keep in mind that in May, there is a 3-night minimum for all stays.
- PRIVATE HOUSING
- As another housing option, players and their parents may request private housing for the event. Typical requests may be for those juniors traveling without parents to the event. Please contact Tournament Director Chris White at cwhite@ajga.org if you need or are seeking more information on private housing. This option is first come, first served, and is not guaranteed, so please contact the tournament director as soon as possible.
In order to fully process your request for private housing, you will be sent information via email to complete. The AJGA will be facilitating background checks of all possible housing options as a way to ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere during the event. These checks come with a $50 non-refundable, administrative fee. Upon your request for private housing, the AJGA will bear the expense of the check up-front, and thus, the fee is non-refundable as the process cannot be reversed or withdrawn. - AIRPORT
- Players should make reservations into Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), which is approximately 2 hours 40 minutes from the golf course. For shuttle service please visit the Ground Transportation portion of BWI airport’s website at http://www.bwiairport.com/en/travel/ground-transportation.

- The tournament practice round will be a 1 p.m., shotgun start Friday, May 4, at Cripple Creek Golf & Country Club. No prior arrangements are necessary. Players may sign up for starting hole assignments with an AJGA staff member at the putting green from 11:30 a.m. – 12:45 pm., Friday, May 4. All players will be asked to carry their own bag or utilize a push cart during the practice round. Players may arrange additional practice rounds by contacting Cripple Creek Golf & Country Club at (302) 539-1446 on an individual basis. The rates for any additional practice round will be as follows: Juniors – walking $25; riding $45; Parents/Guests – walking $35; riding $55.

- REGISTRATION/PLAYERS MEETING
- Players Registration will be held Friday, May 4, at 6 p.m., at Cripple Creek Golf & Country Club in the Dining Room. Players unable to register at this time MUST notify Tournament Director Chris White prior to May 4 at (770) 601-5196. The Players Meeting will immediately follow at 6:30 p.m. Both events are MANDATORY. Players who fail to attend either or both of these functions without prior approval from the tournament director may forfeit their tournament gifts. Approval to miss Players Registration and Players Meeting will be granted only in extreme circumstances. An individual absent from these events because they are not staying at the host hotel, are staying in private housing for the week, or have a long commute does not constitute acceptable circumstances.
- PARENTS MEETING PRESENTED BY WELLS FARGO
- A Parents Meeting will be held by the AJGA staff in conjunction with the Players Meeting at 6:30 p.m., Friday, May 4, to answer any questions and discuss the AJGA’s policies and related issues.

As inclement weather may delay play, please make your departing flight as late as possible. Keep in mind that Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is 2 hours and 40 minutes from Cripple Creek Golf & Country Club.
- SCORING ON THE 9s (FJ LIVE SCORING)
- TOURNAMENT COOKOUT
- Come one, come all to a fun-filled evening at Cripple Creek Golf & Country Club. After the first round, hang around for food, games and fun Saturday, May 5.

Parents and guests may eat at the cookout for a cost of $10, payable at the front of the buffet.
- AJGA CARES FOR THE COURSE
- At all AJGA events in 2012 players will receive a small sand bottle prior to the round to use throughout the day to fill divots on the course. Sand-filling stations will be set up around the course for players to use during their round. In addition, a Care for the Course Party will take place Saturday, May 5, at 4 p.m., for players to care for the practice facilities.
- CODE OF CONDUCT
- All AJGA participants are expected to abide by the AJGA Code of Conduct. Violations of the Code of Conduct will be dealt with based on the severity of the misconduct.
- OTHER INFORMATION
- The USGA condition of competition requiring a player’s clubs conform to the groove and punch mark specifications as detailed in the 2012-2015 Rules of Golf is NOT in effect for AJGA competitions.
- Golf carts and spectator carts are not allowed without a Government issued permanent handicap placard.
- Caddies are not permitted in AJGA tournament play.
- Proper attire is required at all times and failure to comply may result in disqualification (see Dress Code Section of Code of Conduct).
- Push carts (non-motorized) are approved for use by all players as permitted by the host facility. Players are responsible for providing their own push carts.
- NO SHOW POLICY
- Because the AJGA continues to receive far more applications than it has spots available for in its events, the AJGA is adopting the following policy:
If you find that you cannot compete in the Preseason Junior at Cripple Creek, you must withdraw from the event online through the Player Center. If the online withdrawal option is not available, contact the AJGA at (770) 868-4200 and ask to be transferred to a withdrawal hotline or contact Tournament Director Chris White at (770) 601-5196 prior to Players Registration. Complete withdrawal procedures prior to the start of an event are available at ajga.org. This allows the AJGA to replace you with an alternate. If you cannot compete and do not withdraw properly, you are considered a "no show," and the following action will be taken:
- If you have already been accepted for another event, you will be notified of your disqualification from that event.
- If you have not been accepted in another event at this time, your next application will not be considered.
- If this offense is repeated, you will not be allowed to play in any more events for the remainder of the year.
