The Granny Junior Invitational is open to all Junior golfers between the ages of 12-19 who have not enrolled in and started taking college classes.

We will accept applications for the 2024 Granny Junior Invitational beginning March 1^st, 2024 .  All eligible junior players are welcome to apply.  The Club has up to 4 total exemptions.  In addition, up to 5 boys and 5 girls exemptions will be awarded to top finishers in certain Tennessee Sneds Tour Elite Series Championships taking place at Mossy Oak, Harrison Bay, Hermitage Golf Course, & TN National Golf Club.  Click here to go to the Sneds Tour site where a junior golfer may apply to participate in these events. The remaining field will be determined based on rankings from the Junior Golf Scoreboard, AJGA Rolex and WAGR.  The deadline to apply is April 30, 2024.  All junior golfers who wish to participate in the tournament must submit an application by the deadline, regardless of whether they ultimately qualify for any of the above exemptions.

Except for the exemptions discussed above, the remaining participant selections will be made and notice provided by no later than Monday, May 6, 2024.  An applicant will have until 5:00 pm CT on Monday, May 13, 2024 to accept or decline the invitation. The tournament committee will then fill any openings from the waitlist until the field is full.

As mentioned on our site, there is NO entry fee or other additional charges for the player to participate in this tournament.  That said, when an applicant accepts an invitation to participate, a deposit in the amount of $300 will need to be made by valid credit card to hold the position by the above May 9, 2024 deadline.  The credit card will only be charged if the participant withdraws or fails to show up for the event for any or no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that no charge will be incurred for any girl participants who withdraw from the tournament because they have qualified for the 2024 USGA Women’s Amateur Tournament as long as they withdraw within 5 days after the qualifying event and thereafter, must register and participate in the USGA Women’s Amateur event.
