2023 Gold Bag Tag Certification

What is a gold bag tag? A Gold bag tag is a certification tag that qualifies a junior golfer to practice and play at Eagle Brook without a parent or guardian present.

How does a Junior earn a Gold bag tag? Junior golfers can earn a Gold Bag Tag by participating in the Certification Sessions, which is a four-week program that covers rules, etiquette, on course safety, etc. The final week of the Certification Session is a 9-hole playing qualifier in which the Golf Professional Staff observes each junior golfer to see if they are ready to be on the course by themselves.

To qualify for a gold bag tag, a player must:

1.     Participate in the Gold Bag Tag Certification

2.     Observe the rules of golf and general golf course etiquette

3.     Play 9 holes in less than 2 hours and 10 minutes in a foursome

4.     Walk 9 holes while carrying his/her clubs

5.     Play 9 holes w/ a score of 65 or better ** at discretion of Professional Staff **

6.     Have a passing score on the Junior Certification Quiz

***Any Junior that was certified in 2022, or before, does not have to be re-certified for the 2023 season, but are welcome to participate in the Certification Session***

What happens once a gold bag tag is earned? Once a junior golfer earns their Gold Bag Tag, they are allowed to practice and play at Eagle Brook without having a parent or guardian present (time restrictions may apply). Juniors that earn their Gold Bag Tag may graduate to the 9-Hole group in the Summer Junior Golf Program.
