As a junior golfer, I want to understand how my Performance Based Entry (PBE) Stars carry over from one year to the next on the AJGA circuit. Additionally, I'm looking for two key pieces of advice from the website on how to best maximize my opportunities to play in tournaments. Can you provide this information?
Navigate to the 'Juniors' section of the AJGA website. Click on 'How to Play in the AJGA'. Click on the 'PBE' link within the 'How to Play in the AJGA' section. Scroll down to locate and click on the 'Important Notes and Tips' link. Identify and extract information regarding the carry-over of Performance Stars to the next season. Identify and extract two distinct tips that help players maximize their tournament playing opportunities. Synthesize the gathered information to provide a comprehensive answer.
Explain that Performance Stars earned in one year (e.g., 2024) are carried over to the beginning of the next season (e.g., 2025) and are combined with new membership Performance Stars based on grad year. Identify and state that 'Plan your tournament schedule early to maximize playing opportunities and prevent missed deadlines.' is a key recommendation. Identify and state that 'Qualifiers are great opportunities for all players to earn Performance Stars and build their status.' is a second key recommendation.
