Cornelius Makes Hole-in-One ... Again
Dothan's Kyle Cornelius, on the 7th hole at the Magnolia course.Some players go a lifetime without making a hole-in-one. But Red Hills Tour Player Kyle Cornelius has already accomplished this feat twice ...and he's only 10. The most recent ace happened Saturday, May 15, at the Magnolia Course in Dothan, AL. He hit a nine-iron on the 93-yard par three 7th hole. Congratulations to Kyle for such an outstanding achievement at such a young age.

Reminder About Use of Alignment Rods
As a tee gift for the 2010 Red Hills season we included a customized MoRod for each player. These training aids are intended for use during practice to help the player check alignment. They are not to be used during a competitive round, as described below. Please make sure you read and understand the recent rules update relevant to these and other practice aids. If you have questions please contact a Red Hills tour director.
Alignment Rods Result in Disqualification?
It seems that almost all junior golfers are carrying fiberglass alignment rods/sticks in their bags. They are a great tool for checking your alignment or swing plane, but do you know if you use one of these rods during a round (whether during a stroke or not) that you are disqualified?
A new decision on the Rules of Golf came into effect on January 1, 2010 that prohibits the use of these rods during a round.
Decision 14-3/10.3 Use of Rod During Round for Alignment or as Swing Aid
Q. During a stipulated round, a player used a rod to check his alignment or his swing plan. What is the ruling?
A. The player is disqualified under 14-3 as the rod is unusual equipment and such use, during the stipulated round, is not permitted.
Carrying the rod is not, of itself, a breach of a Rule.
So, if you want to check your alignment during a round, don't use one of these rods, just lay down a club from your bag. Checking alignment with a club is not a breach of the Rules, unless the club is kept on the ground for alignment during a stoke.
If you have any questions on the Rules of Golf please contact the Florida State Golf Association at 813-632-3742 or email info@floridajuniortour.org.
Summer Registration Now Open!
Our summer tournament schedule for the 2010 Red Hills Junior Tour is now available (click here to sign up)
If you played last year but have not signed up for 2010, the basics of the tour will remain the same but there will be a few changes for 2010. These changes are highlighted on the Rules and Regulations, Caddy Policy and Cart Policy pages. We now offer a mid-Season Registration fee of $50.
NEW THIS YEAR:
- We have expanded the age groups to include players up to 18 years old
- Players aged 13 and up are no longer permitted the use of caddies.
- A player's age as of June 1, 2010 will determine the age group in which the player may compete.
- Download Rules and Etiquette Quiz: Each player is encouraged to complete and hand in a signed players rules and etiquette quiz (preferably at their first event). Each player should print and complete the appropriate quiz and bring (signed by the player) to the registration table at any event. To receive your 30-points toward player rankings you must score at least 75% on the quiz. Players may use any resource available to help with the quiz, but the player must attest that they did the work. The Player can take the quiz as many times as needed until passing and can turn in the quiz at any event, but will not receive the points until doing so. There is no penalty for NOT completing the quiz, but, the player will start the season with a 30-point disadvantage against other players who do complete the quiz.
- Due to increases in costs from host courses, the individual event fee has increased slightly to $40 for 9-hole players and $60 for 18-hole players (Please note no additional Eventbrite fees will be added).
We look forward to the start of another fun season.
RHJT: A Development Tour for Juniors
Our goal at Red Hills Junior Tour is to help boys and girls from across the U.S. have fun learning the lifelong game of golf and to encourage family interaction and friendly competition that builds lasting memories.
Our tour involves play on quality, kid- and family-friendly courses in north Florida, southern Georgia and Alabama—the "red hills" in and around Tallahassee, FL and Thomasville, GA.
Young players from across the nation are welcome to play provided they meet age (6-18) and physical requirements (players must be able to walk the course — either 9 or 18 holes depending on their age bracket).
The tour registration is $75 per year per player ($50 mid-season after June 1) and the events are priced fairly at $40/9-hole player and $60/18-hole players.
