FAIRWAYS Preview

The FAIRWAYS Preview is typically organized by local or state junior golf associations as an introductory stroke play event designed for newer and developing junior golfers. It usually consists of one round of stroke play, with fields ranging from 40 to 100 competitors, depending on venue and association. Entry is open to boys and girls ages 7–18 who are members of the host association or tour, and most events have no minimum handicap requirement or qualification round, making it accessible for all experience levels. Scores often count toward season points standings, and the preview helps players acclimate to the rules, pace, and format of formal junior competition, but does not qualify them for major championships.
