JUNIOR SKILLS CHALLENGE
The Junior Skills Challenge is an interactive programme focusing on the core skills of golf through engaging challenges that encourage juniors to develop within a competitive environment.
What is the Junior Skills Challenge?
The challenge is open to juniors under the age of 15 in the following categories with a Boys and Girls category in each:
- Participants aged 6 and under
- Participants aged 7-9
- Participants aged 10-12
- Participants aged 13-15
The aim for juniors is to accumulate as many points as possible in Putting, Chipping and Driving. Using the online leaderboard, you and your juniors will be able to measure progress as well as track regional and national rankings.
