Screening of applicants
A committee of SDGA Junior Golf Foundation directors selects the winners. Applicants must be a participant (or dependent of a participant) in SDGA events, or an active First Tee — South Dakota participant — this is given high priority.
Applicants are also judged on participation in golf at the local club level, high school academic achievement, First Tee volunteerism, participation in non-golf activities, and leadership, honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.
