Trophies

Pukka® Patches

Pukka® Patches are a way for you, as a player, to showcase your achievements on the Pukka Junior Golf Tour.  They are a form of mobile trophies that are placed on your Tour membership bag tag.  The idea behind the Pukka® Patch is for it to be visible to college coaches that may be recruiting at an event.  The Tour has communicated this program to any and all interested college coaches so that they will know what to look for. 

Two colors of the Pukka® icon will be obtainable: 

• Orange Pukka® Icon – Win
• White Pukka® Icon – Top 5 Finish

Unwarranted Withdrawal – When a member withdraws from an event when they are not performing up to their ability and they either leave the golf course or site or do not show up for the subsequent round it will be ruled as unwarranted withdrawal.  This will be treated as a serious PJT offense and the Tour will have the discretion to withdraw or suspend the player from the next event.  A second offense will result in suspended membership at the Tour’s discretion.  A final offense will result in termination of membership and all deposits will be forfeit.
