JUNIOR LINKS
The Junior Links Tour is for juniors who have just begun to play golf or need more experience before playing in our Junior Tour. It consists of year-round 9-hole tournaments and is open to juniors ages 13-18. Adults are encouraged to support their juniors by caddying and being out on the course helping the juniors.
Caddie Information
The STPGA would like to welcome back all returning caddies to the STPGA Caddie program as well as welcome all new Caddies to the 2026 Caddie Program. The Caddie Program is such an important part of the STPGA Junior Golf Program, and we hope that each Caddie enjoys the opportunity to be a part of their son or daughter’s team.

Junior Links Unique Rules of Play
- Participants may have one caddie to assist in keeping their score and assist with yardages, club selection, and guidance. Extensive coaching may result in a loss of caddie privileges.
- Penalty Area Rule - If a player hits two (2) balls into a penalty area that is designated by red or yellow stakes or freshly painted lines they may drop a ball on the opposite side of said penalty area for no additional penalty.
Example: The player hits his or her first (1) shot into the penalty area designated by red or yellow stakes or freshly painted lines. The player drops and lays two (2). The player proceeds to hit his or her third (3) shot into the same penalty area. The play may then drop on the other side of the penalty area. At this point, the player will be laying four (4) and will proceed to hit his or her fifth (5) shot.
Note: The player must count the two (2) strokes for hitting into the penalty area before proceeding under this rule.
- Bunker Rule - If a player’s ball is in a bunker and the player has taken two (2) strokes at the ball in the same bunker and has not advanced the ball out of the bunker, the player may under no penalty, drop the ball outside the bunker. The player will drop the ball at the nearest point of relief, one (1) club length no closer to the hole, and continue to play.
- Out of Bounds - As an additional option to stroke and distance, a player may, for a General Penalty, drop his or her ball at the nearest fairway edge no closer to the hole.
