AJGA Tournaments: Insider Tips to Boost Your Ranking Faster
In this instructional video, Connor Stirling Peterson walks junior golfers, their parents, and coaches through the intricacies of the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) Rolex Rankings and how to accelerate ranking improvement. He begins by outlining the purpose of the video and the target audience—elite junior players with AJGA exempt status or those aspiring to that level. Peterson then breaks down the AJGA points system, explaining the hierarchy of tournaments: 225‑point “major” invitationals (e.g., Carlton Woods, Ping Invitational, Junior Players, Annika Invitational, Tournament of Champions, Team TaylorMade, Winnebago Invitational) and the lower‑tier events with minimum point values (AJGA Opens, Senior events, Junior All‑Stars, Previews, etc.). He illustrates how top‑ranked players concentrate on the high‑point events and supplement them with non‑AJGA tournaments that also award points. Peterson emphasizes that points alone are insufficient; a player must have low scoring averages (typically sub‑71) to capitalize on high‑point events. He discusses how points are allocated based on finish position and tournament point value, and why winning a lower‑point event can sometimes yield more points than a high‑point event with a modest finish. He introduces the divisor system (total points divided by number of events) and explains why playing a mix of AJGA and non‑AJGA events can improve the divisor and overall ranking. The video also covers bonus points (e.g., US Junior medalist, All‑American honors) and the AJGA Invitational criteria, detailing the ranking thresholds required for automatic invitations versus applying for spots. Throughout, Peterson stresses data‑driven decision‑making, using statistics (greens‑in‑regulation, birdie conversion, par‑5 strategy, putting) to lower scores predictably. He repeatedly promotes his coaching program, offering a link for interested families to apply for personalized tournament planning and performance analysis. The video concludes with a call to action to like, subscribe, and engage with future content.

All right, what's going on guys? So in this video, I'm going to be covering rankings, specifically AJGA rankings and how to boost your rankings faster. If you're new to the channel, welcome in. Um, this is all we cover. We cover junior golf and how to develop to play college golf. So if you relate to that, if you're a parent of a junior golfer, if you're a junior golfer yourself, go ahead and subscribe to the channel. Come out with videos like this every single week. If you're coming back, uh, welcome back. Excited to have you. And this is going to be a really fun topic for us to kind of dive into today. Um, this is— we're gonna be going into the weeds here of like what specifically, you know, we want to be focusing on within AJGA rankings and kind of how that relates to, you know, being one of the best players in the country. Because at the end of the day, like, the best players in the country are ranked on the AJGA Rolex Rankings. It's not the primary ranking system that I push out there. I'm a big fan of Junior Golf Scoreboard as kind of your primary evaluation on where you are related to college golf. But this video is really one for, um, the elite players, you know, the players watching these videos who are, you know, ranked as one of the top players in their class and they're wondering, how do I expand on that? Or maybe you're a younger junior golfer, you have a younger junior golfer, maybe they're 12, 13, 14 years old, they're elite and they're ready to take that to the next level. They're like, all right, cool, you know, what's up ahead? Or maybe you're watching this video and you're just, you're just kind of curious. So all those, uh, everyone in those buckets is going to be satisfied in this video and I As always, if you guys enjoy the video, please leave a like or a thumbs up. Really helps push it out to more people. I'm doing more of these Loom videos and it seems like you guys like it. And, um, just, you know, let me know in the comments if there's any other topics you guys want me to cover. I'll be happy to dive into them. So let's go ahead and dive right into it. So if you go to ajga.com, you'll see rankings right here. Just click on that and it'll take you to this page here. Let's go I'm going to go ahead and let the little loady thing do its, do its thing. And so you'll see boys ranking, girls ranking, and that, that might be kind of like where your search has ended in the past, or if you even made it to this page. But I want to start with a few other things first. So AJGA uses a concept of points as part of their like ranking system. So you might be familiar with stars. That's where most families and kids get hung up. You know, it's kind of like the first problem with AJGA is like, you know, Oh, let's get into events. How do we get into events? Oh, we have to go through these qualifiers. Oh, I can't get through a qualifier. I can't get into a qualifier. It's like those are smaller problems. And by all means, that's something that I help players with. Um, the vast majority of students, you know, like most players are not at this level. Uh, but this video is for the, the players who are past that point as their primary focus. Um, so we need to start familiarizing ourselves with the points system. And this is really going to be best. I should have said this at the beginning, but this is really gonna be best for players who already have AJGA exempt status. That's really where this is going to like take off. So if you're watching this video and your child has exempt status, like get out the notebook. Like this is, this is going to be tremendously valuable for you. So let's go ahead and jump into this here. So points, um, they've got like their little accordion on, you know, how rankings work and all that stuff. Um, but points are how they determine like which tournaments are better than others. So I'll kind of start you off here. What tournaments are locked at 225-point level. The way to understand that, essentially, like, these are like the majors of junior golf. And to kind of validate that point, just so you guys can kind of see these, we got like Carlton Woods, we've got Ping Invitational, we've got Junior Players, we've got the Anika Invitational, we've got, um, Tournament of Champions, Team TaylorMade, Winnebago Invitational, Um, and then you're also gonna see some other ones that are non-AJGA events. Um, you definitely wanna make use of these, you know, the Junior PGA, um, you know, Sage Valley, one of the most difficult and prestigious tournaments to be in, the US Junior and the Western Junior. Those are all the events that are essentially like your junior golf majors. A lot more options than on the PGA Tour. In the PGA Tour, you get like 4 options. I think women's golf is like 4 or 5, um, professional golf anyway. But let's look at the best players in the country. You know, let's take, uh, take Logan as an example here. What tournaments are they playing in? Junior Players, Junior PGA, Western, Team TaylorMade, Scott Robertson, Dustin Johnson, Carlton Woods. Let's look at another one. Miles Russell, Tournament of Champions, Elite Invitational, PING Invitational, Junior Players, Junior Amateur, Team TaylorMade, Sage Valley, Carlton Woods. Some random event. Um, let's look at, at Blades here. Tournament of Champions, Junior Players, Junior PGA, Sage Valley, Dustin Johnson, Carlton Woods. Hopefully you guys are kind of seeing the pattern here. Now again, like, these are the best players in the country. Jones Cup, which we'll see in a second, Tournament of Champions, Ping Invitational, Junior Players, Junior PGA, Western Junior, Team TaylorMade, and a couple other ones. So again, you guys can kind of see this, you know, as we go down this list, um, and as we look at players who are ranked higher, they're more exclusive about these tournaments, just simply put. And they also have, you know, better scoring averages, to be fair. But for the most part, the biggest kind of thing you're going to see is, you know, they're playing in better tournaments. So before we go too far into this, your child isn't already, you know, in in tournaments shooting better than 74, which they, you know, they should be, you know, if they've got AJGA exempt status, they're going to have that. But just to be clear, like, that is a big part of this is like foundationally, like, we need to have the scores. We don't have the scores, this is a worthless video for you to watch. But if you have the scores, then this can be really valuable. So let's go back to this. So we got the 225 events. Hopefully you guys can see based on kind of like that walkthrough, it's like these are the best events in the country, you know, this is what the best players play in. but then we have a bunch of other events as well. So they have this little accordion, what tournaments have minimum point value. So all minimum point value is, is it's saying like, based on the type of tournament, what's the minimum value I can get for this? What's the minimum number of points that this is going to be worth? So like open events, AJGA Opens, you might have heard that term before, have a minimum point value of 40 points. Now what you're going to see down below here is you're going to have a— see a bunch of AJGA Opens that are worth more than 50 points. Okay, same thing's true for, you know, senior events. So like, let's say your, your child's playing an event and they're a senior and they're trying to get, you know, extra exposure. It's an option. Um, Junior All-Stars, 20 points. There are Junior All-Star events with more than 20 points, but again, like, this is just non-AJGA tournaments that are actually ranked. 20 points, wouldn't think too much about that. Previews, 15 points. 10 points, You guys get the picture. You do not need to worry or consider points realistically until your child has exempt status. Just like, to be completely fair here, the probability that they're gonna have exempt status without— or that probably they're gonna be in a position where their points would be at all relevant without having exempt status, I would say, is incredibly low. Um, partially because a lot of these, uh, these tournaments here, these are invitationals. So you can't just like say, oh, let me just go sign up for Carlton Woods. That seems like a good tournament. It's like, no, you have to get invited. To these events. And so in order to get invited, your ranking has to be good enough. And in order for your ranking to be good enough, you need to be able to play in enough events. But the other thing I was going to say is these events do not count toward that 5 tournament limit, which you guys are probably familiar with if you're watching this video to this point. You're only playing 5 AJGA Open events, you're only playing 4 Junior All-Star Open events. But what you guys will actually find when we look at the rankings is a lot of the highest ranked players are actually playing in significantly more than 5 AJGA events. And that's a product of two things. Number one, they're playing in these events. And number two, they're playing in non-AJGA events as well. So one of the ones you guys saw was, you know, Jones Cup Invitational, non-AJGA. So it doesn't count toward that 5, you know, minimum, but we still get points for it. Let's see if we can find another one here. Dustin Johnson, we saw that one a bunch, non-AJGA, but it counts for those points. Um, let's see if we can find any other ones just like off the top to continue to hammer in this point, um, that we actually saw here. KJ Choi was another one. Um, you guys, it wasn't— it's on an IJJ event, but you guys saw any one of the players actually did play in that event. So again, 100 points for that particular event. Um, I think that makes a pretty good case. Okay, Scott Robertson Memorial is another one I was looking 4. So another one, non-AJGA event, uh, worth 100 points. So anyway, hope you guys get the picture here. This is kind of a way that you could create a hierarchy for yourself, just saying it's like, well, you know, out of all the tournaments we could play, and if we could play every tournament possible, or if we had the option of playing in any tournament possible, which tournaments do you guys think would be better to play off? Assuming that you can play, you know, as well as possible, you'd probably want to play in the better tournaments. It's just fairly straightforward, right? If we could only play in a set number of tournaments, we're going to want to play in the best ones, right? And so, you know, if you've got a junior golfer who has exempt status, like, that's a real question you should be asking yourself. It's like, obviously, you know, what limitations do you have as far as like travel that is even realistic for you? But assuming, you know, let's say we're in a scenario where travel doesn't matter, well then we're going to want to prioritize the best events possible to show, you know, the— give ourselves the best chance of presenting ourselves in the best way possible. First, if you just play a bunch of like random Mickey Mouse tournaments with like 6,300 yards or 6,500 yards especially for the boys out there. Like, you know, to be clear, you know, for the girls, those are long golf courses, but for, for boys, you guys get what I'm saying here. Um, you know, it just doesn't set yourself up for success. You go out there and shoot 69, it's like, it's not really that impressive, you know, as opposed to you go to some of these golf courses and you shoot 71. So it's a really impressive score. Even 74, a really impressive score. And a lot of the stuff that, you know, is going to come down to like why you score is not going to be really based on like how long golf course is, especially amongst better players. So Hopefully that makes sense to everyone. Now you might be asking yourself, all right, great. So we got this point system, but like, how do the points get assigned? Like, what does it even mean? Like, how does that work? So there's this, um, you can actually download the spreadsheet. You just click the link here. I already pulled it up. Um, but it shows you based on the finish position and the number of points, um, for the tournament, how many points your child would earn if they performed well in this. And the first time that I came across this information, my, my thought process was, well, we want to make sure we're always playing in the best tournaments possible, and that's going to optimize, you know, even if we don't shoot the best scores, we're playing the best tournaments, there are most points available there, or theoretically we're going to have the highest opportunity to get the most points. Um, I have since changed my thinking on that. I do not think that anymore because let's look at this. 40 points, if you guys recall, if you win an AJGA Open That's a 40, just like your standard run-of-the-mill AJGA Open. You get 40 points. That's, you know, hopefully you guys can kind of see that. I know this spreadsheet's kind of small. Um, now if we could compare that to a 225-point event, do you think it's easier to win an AJGA Open event, just like a random AJGA Open event, or come in 8th in the US Junior? I don't know about you guys, but I think it's easier to probably win an AJGA event than come in 8th in the US Junior. We gotta go through match play like that. That's brutal. Like, that's really hard. Um, so that's just something to consider here. You know, it's like, just because we're playing into, you know, Carlton Woods and you were into that event does not mean that if we just shoot some ho-hum whatever score that we're gonna, you know, win the tournament or something like that. Like, all those players are really, really good. Like, you're probably gonna have to shoot significantly under par over 3 days or 4 days in order to be successful and win that tournament. Um, as opposed to an AJGA Open event, I mean, I would say you probably win an AJGA Open event, you know, shoot a couple under par versus, you know, a Carlton Woods. Like, you're probably gonna have to shoot significantly under par, you know, probably, you know, in the, you know, -6, -7, -8, -9 range. I mean, I'd have to look it up to know exactly, but hopefully you guys kind of get that. I mean, to, to come in first in the US Juniors, like, you're probably shooting like 63, 62, you know, 64, something in that range on a really hard golf course. So it's like, if you guys are kind of thinking to yourselves, well, you know, how do we play in the best tournaments possible? It's like, I wouldn't worry about that until your child has exempt status, because again, like, once they're in that position, then it makes sense to be like, okay, well, what do we need to do in our game in order to be able to not just average like whatever, 74, 73, which might have gotten you exempt status. How do we get to 71 or 70, which is what you'll see like a lot of these, you know, elite players? You know, like, let's pull up Logan again here. The scoring average is 70.7. I mean, this is elite, elite stuff. You know, if you look at Blades here, 70.9. Um, let's look at another one. 70.5 again. So this is like the top, top, top level. And so again, like, You know, this is something I talk about in my other videos. This is something I do in my coaching program, but it's really important that we understand the math behind whatever we're trying to accomplish, right? If we want to improve our rankings, we need to do the math. We need to look at stuff. We need to know how this is going to all fit together. We also need to understand probabilities. So it's like, again, if I put myself in different types of events, what's the probability that that works out for me as well as possible, right? We need to consider all that stuff. But with math, it's like, if you track your statistics, like I talked about in my other videos, then you can objectively say and be like, well, I'm really good right now. I've got a 73 scoring average, but like, I want to get 70. What do I need to do specifically? It's like, okay, cool. Well, right now you're hitting 67% of your greens, and if we could get you to 71 or 72% of your greens, well, that might take off half a shot or almost a, you know, probably 0.6 shots right there. Or, you know, maybe it was a situation where it's like, hey, we need to be a little bit more disciplined on par 5s. We're being a little bit too aggressive on par 5s. Just a little bit more disciplined. It's not going to hurt our birdie rate because we're going to hit a few more greens, um, and that's going to put us in a better position, right? That might be a scenario. It might be a scenario where you look at your birdie conversion range, man, I do not convert enough, you know, birdies. Okay, cool. Then we might need to look at your green reading. We might need to look at your putting from, you know, 10 to 15 feet. We might need to get you on some drills there. Um, we might need to increase distance off the tee. That's one of the most common ones that people go to. It's not always necessarily true because sometimes you get it closer and still not hit the green. Green at a high rate. Um, a lot of players know that one with like trying to hit the distance 60-yard wedge and we hit it fat or thin or something like that. First, we leave ourselves like a full lob wedge, you know, you hit it perfect. So those are all the things you kind of want to be aware of at the highest level. Um, again, I've got a coaching program for that, so if that's something you guys want help with or any of this stuff, if you guys are watching this and you're just like, man, like we need to actually, you know, get help as far as like which tournaments we need to be playing in, if your kid's already shooting like those kind of low scores, then there's an application link below. Just fill that out, and if you guys are qualified, you'll be able to book a call and we can go over, make sure that's a good fit for you guys. But anyway, back into the video here. This is, this is the ranking spreadsheet, so you guys can get this just off of the AJGA, um, site here. Bonus points just for specific events, so, you know, it's just kind of like an add-on multiple, and this will make a little bit more sense we're going over the rankings here. So, um, 30 points for playing the US Junior Um, well, I guess for the medalist, so that's kind of cool. And then, yeah, they got a few other bonus points here. Nothing really too crazy. Um, there's All-American thing. In my opinion, it's not really that important, you know. It's like maybe it like boosts you a little bit with like coaches, but I mean, plenty of kids are gonna get recruited by fantastic programs that aren't on the All-American team. Um, so that's more of just like a little like feather in your cap type of thing. So let's go ahead and dive into the rankings here. All right, cool. So what you guys are going to see is obviously, you know, the players who are ranked best, and it's not exactly the same as Junior Golf Scoreboard. You guys will see that. So, you know, our boy Logan is ranked a little bit better, um, than he was on Junior Golf Scoreboard. Does that really affect things? Is where he got recruited? I don't think so. Yeah, I mean, he's 3rd, 3rd in Junior Golf Scoreboard, and he's 6th on, or, um, he's 3rd on AJGA, 6th on Junior Golf Scoreboard. Do you think Auburn really cares whether he's, uh, you know, 3rd or 6th? I don't think so. I mean, Auburn's one of the best, um, programs in the country, but I mean, like, I don't think there's a big difference there. Um, you know, if you, if one of you guys wants to fight me on that, then, then okay, but I mean, just common sense here, it's like, it's not really that big of a difference. These players are all pretty dang similar. Um, but let's look at Logan here. So right off the rip here, we're going to see that Logan played in 7 events. As you guys and I kind of stated, you can only play in 5 AJGA Opens, which means he did not play in the AJGA Opens alone, right? So what do we see? Junior Players Invitational, Junior PGA, non-AJGA event, Western Junior, non-AJGA event. Both of these are $225 events. TaylorMade Invitational, boom. Scott Robertson Memorial, non-AJGA event. And the Dustin Johnson, same thing, non-AJGA event. Um, and it looks like he won the Scott Robertson Memorial. So, you know, he didn't do, um, it wasn't quite as like elite tier, um, as some of these other events, but he won it. So I mean, like, you know, that's obviously, you know, he got the most points from this because even though these are like technically better events, um, even like the Team TaylorMade Invitational, like he shot 64, 70, 71. Versus 68, 69, 69. I mean, this is arguably a— like, yeah, he shot a better score in this event, but he finished third. He got less points than winning the Scott Robertson. So again, like, all you guys, like, if you're worried about like, I need to travel all over the country, make sure I'm in like the best possible event possible, it's like, no, like, you don't need to do that. You just need to shoot good scores, and you just need to do your best and give your child, you know, an opportunity to put themselves in a position where, you know, if you look at all these events that he played in you know, he's had some tournaments where he did better than other tournaments, right? I mean, if you look at— let's just look at all the 3-day events here. I mean, look at this one, right? So we got Carlton Woods, like, by his standards, you know, it wasn't the best. Um, you know, Dustin Johnson, even worse than that, right? So it's just like not the best by his standard. Again, this is obviously excellent golf. I'm not, I'm not here to criticize Logan. Um, but just like considering this is like when he gives himself the opportunity to play more events, he has a higher probability of having a few rounds that are, are good, right? So if we just like looked at these individual ones, so we got, um, 212, 205, 206, 220, 216, right? Like those are his two-day events. And if you just kind of consider that, it's like, well, yeah, you're gonna have your day where you shoot 220 and you're gonna have your day where you shoot 205. And if you do that enough times, like you're gonna have a probability of winning at some point, right? And so in his case, he won at 206. He didn't win when he shot his best score. And so again, like if you're evaluating, kind of looking back on your day, like you might say, oh, well, I, I'm glad that I won that event, which is fantastic. You know, got a lot of points for it, but it's also like, it wasn't even the best golf necessarily that he played. Now it could have been the difficult conditions, so on and so forth. I don't want to like dismiss that, but just like helping you guys think about this, it's important that you focus on the scoring end of this. And just have like this tournaments like background thing. It's like once you have your tournament schedule, you're done. Like just go play in the tournaments as best you can. But giving yourself a chance or giving your child a chance to have enough opportunities to be successful, right? If we only go and play one round of golf, it's like you can play good, you play bad, it's kind of a coin toss. But if we play a bunch of rounds of golf, we're gonna have a very good representation of where your child is as a golfer. And that can be a good thing. Or, you know, if you guys don't have a lot of data and you're not really sure that can be a revealing thing, right? And again, I've got plenty of other videos where I go over the data and the statistics that go into that stuff. Again, if you want help, you've got my program. But anyway, that is just kind of like the perspective here. Now for him, he got bonus points. He got bonus points for, I don't know what he got bonus points for. Is there a way that we can see that? I don't know. I'm sure we could go back to, um, wherever the case is, maybe he won something, but regardless, he's got 442 points. He is going to be divided by 7 events. Now, for all you guys here who are like, that's cool, Connor, I'm still going to do my 5, or I've got my 5 but my number on my average points is not that— bingo, your minimum divisor is going to be 6. So if you're kind of mapping this out and be like, well, I'm playing in all the AJGA tournaments that I can, why isn't my thing as good as it could be? It's like, because you didn't play in a non-AJGA event. So you need to have those in your calendar if you're serious about this. So that's, you know, your Western Junior, Scott Robertson Memorial, Dustin Johnson World Junior, uh, Junior Worlds is an easy one to get to, Junior PGA, US Junior, like all of those would satisfy that criteria and there's a ton on that list. You know, Jones Cup is another one. I just want to pick the ones that, you know, make the most sense for your child and gives them the highest probability of getting into and, you know, honestly try and get into a few of them. Anyway, you want to get this thing high enough. Once you're over 6, it doesn't really matter if you have more than 6. You know, like it's not, they're always divided by 6. It's like if you play in 10 events, it'll be divided by 10. Hopefully you guys can see that though. Bonus points, wouldn't worry too much about that. You know, if it happens, it happens, but it's not a big deal. But that's really how this, this system works. Now, the last thing that I want to, to throw in here is the invitational criteria, because I've talked a lot about these kind of like 225 events. I wanna make sure you guys have a clear perspective. Took me a while to find this page, to be honest. It's not something that HGA does a great job advertising. Um, so anyway, if you just look up, you know, AJGA Invitational criteria is the language that you want to use and it'll show these different events. So we've got like Annika coming up, top 47 girls based on Rolex rankings. Carlton Woods, top 64 boys based on Rolex rankings. Top 65 girls based on Rolex rankings. Top 60. Now you guys are also going to see, you guys, You guys can read, but you guys are also going to see this additional tournament spots. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom here, we're gonna see additional spots. So actually, hang on one second. So there's another slide here. US team eligibility, President's Cup. All right, cool. All right, so here, I just didn't read this right. So they're obviously, you know, they can do whatever they want. It's their company. Um, the subsequent invitations will be sent using the most current revision of AJGA rankings and be reflected in the Invitational priority list available after the initial application deadline. Invitation priority lists are available on the AJGA rankings home page, whatever. Point being is like, if you're not in this, you know, 64, you know, this top 64, then whatever's left is going to go to whoever's next in line. Kind of like the STARS thing. If you apply, then great. If you're at that level, you're going to get the invitation instead of having to apply. Pretty much the same concept though. So it's like if you're sitting there and you're, you're looking at your rankings here and let's, you know, let's scroll to the next page. You're like, all right, cool. You know, I want to get into Carlton Woods. Now let's look at, you know, Pavel here. Well, he's ranked 82nd, right? Still pretty good, but he's not gonna get that invitation unless we have enough people drop out of that event or not wanna play in that event that he's gonna get his invitation. Relatively straightforward, but it pays to just put yourself, you know, out here. So again, for him, he's got 8 events that he's played in. Um, you know, this was a great event for him to win. Um, that was another AJGA event here. But, um, anyway, you guys can kind of see here for him, he just hasn't played quite as good as Logan did. But again, you know, we're looking at his stuff, a little bit different profile, but pretty dang similar. You know, Jones Cup, not the cream of the crop, but still pretty good. Arnold Palmer Invitational, very good, but not cream of the crop. US Junior, very good, finished pretty well in there. But again, like 6.8 for that finish. I mean, like, that's really solid, like 71, 72 in the US Junior, like, that's really good. 8, you know, 6.8 points here versus like if you're playing an AJGA Open and you finished 8th, like he would have got, you would have gotten more points for that. And I bet you in an AJGA Open you shoot 71, 72, you're gonna probably be close to 8th or better. Um, so anyway, don't, don't psych yourselves out too bad. Um, you got this 81 here on the the Western, that kind of shot him in the foot, you know, on the better tournaments. Um, Southern Junior, solid tournament. Iacoba Invitational, solid. Uh, but you guys can kind of see the point here. It's like you want to play in the best tournaments possible, obviously, and as you kind of go further down this list, you're just kind of going to be playing lower priority tournaments. And the way that you work yourself through those is you shoot better scores. You know, it's like if you went into every single one of these events, like let's just say you won every AJGA Open that played in, you know, theoretically, was that like 160 points or something like that? Like, you're going to accelerate your improvement, like, you know, or your improvement in your rankings, like, pretty rapidly, especially when you consider it's like, all right, cool, you know, we also have to play in a non-AGGA event, which is intrinsically going to be worth, you know, a substantial amount of points relative to your kind of standard AGGA Open. Um, you know, it makes a lot of sense where it's just like, just go out there and shoot the best scores possible in order to max out, you know, this ranking system. So hopefully this is helpful for you guys and kind of understanding like, here's what it actually looks like. Here's what path is. A lot of it again boils down to just like knowing this stuff and then being able to lower those scores predictably. Again, that's gonna come down to being able to use statistics. In my opinion, if you guys wanna go ahead and do that blind, like by all means, I don't think it has a high probability of working out. Um, yeah, I think, you know, if you're doing that, you're just essentially like hoping things work out, which I think is kind of a dumb idea. I think if you're watching this and you have a child who's successful in junior golf, you're paying to go to all this stuff, you probably succeeded pretty well in life and you know that that's not how stuff works. You know, it's like you gotta go out there and you gotta measure stuff and you gotta know like where, where you're going and be really clear on be like, here's what we need to do in order to make that happen. So, you know, that's why I build my whole program around that. That's something you're interested in learning more about, how your child can use data and statistics to be able to, to really make sure that they're scoring as well as possible. They're putting their folks in the right spot so they're improving as fast as possible so that they can launch themselves up this, this, this ranking system and ultimately be able to go to, you know, excellent program, get the scholarship, all that fun stuff.

But again, it'll just give you another perspective, another option for you. And as you guys probably know, having more options, you know, allows you to make better decisions.
