ABOUT THE Trans-Miss Junior-Senior
Introduced in 2021, this is one of four annual
championships hosted each
year
by
the historic Trans-Mississippi Golf Association. The
Championship will be contested over 54 holes of
Four-Ball Stroke Play with two Divisions; Scratch and
Handicap. The scratch division teams will have
a combined handicap index at 8.0 and under. The
handicap division will have a combined handicap
index over 8.0. Each team is comprised of one plater
age 25+ and another age 55+. Each
player must be a member of a Trans-Mississippi
member
club, but not necessarily the same club. Players who
do
not belong to a Trans-Miss member club can speak
to
their club's manager or board of directors to
encourage
them to join (dues are very reasonable and support
the
Trans-Miss Turf Scholarship Fund). Alternatively,
entrants may make a contribution in lieu of club
membership to the Turf Scholarship Fund.
