A limited number of golfers in each division will advance to the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships, commonly referred to as THE OPTIMIST, provided they shoot the minimum qualifying score.

If a golfer who lives outside of the District qualifies, his/her participation will not eliminate a District resident from qualifying.

Optimist Districts and Clubs may provide financial support for winners to attend THE OPTIMIST. The amount of financial support provided and the age divisions covered varies by District.The NFL Optimist District Junior Golf program guarantees registration fees for THE OPTIMIST for the first place boy and girl in the 16-18 age division. Additionally, we pay for the first place boy and girl in the other age divisions as our funds allow. Please check with the District Chair for details.
