FJT Qualifying Series
Qualifying Series (Q-Series) events are
open to all current FJT members who do not hold an un-used FJT exemption.
These events are a great opportunity for non-exempt players to compete against
a strong nationally ranked field while trying to earn FJT exemptions.
Each Q-Series event is conducted over 36-holes
and in the same professional manner as all FJT tournaments. Fields consist of a
maximum of 84 players (in a ratio similar to the Tour's membership).
See below for more information.
Lake Jovita's two championship courses
that are interwoven through lakes, ponds, valleys, hills, and lush vegetation
make it a premier golfing destination. Lake Jovita's golf amenities include a
highly rated Golf Shop (Top 100 in America by Golf Business World) and a
world-class fifteen-acre practice facility with bunkers and chipping area, a
one-acre putting green, and a separate practice facility for private lessons.
Tournament rounds are scheduled to be played on
the NORTH COURSE. Course assignment was changed on July 18th..
