MyGolf Junior League 2020
The MyGolf Junior League is designed to:
· give children their first on course golf experience
· keep children involved in the sport beyond the MyGolf skills program
· foster a team element in what is predominantly an individual game.
A shortened course and modified rules assist to create a fun and relaxed environment for participants.
If a junior already has a handicap of 35 or less and is playing regularly on a full course, they would be considered too advanced for this competition.
Golf Australia will provide each participant who attends the final day a medal and certificate with gold medals awarded to winning team members.
Games are scheduled for Sundays 2-5pm and will be held at various locations in the Southen Golf Zone:
Aston Hills GC 18th October
Glenelg GC 25th October
Victor Harbor GC 1st November
Flagstaff Hill GC 8th November
Thaxted Park GC 15th November
Mount Osmond GC 22nd November
This year we have 3 Echunga juniors joining the Aston Hills Team. Thanks to Connor Chant for organising. Good luck team!
