Competitive Opportunities
PGA Junior League
MG & TC participated for the first time in 2015. At its core,
PGA Junior League Golf is a group of local golf teams from area
clubs who play a series of games against each other, utilizing
a nurturing and social 2 player scramble format. Games are 9
holes with each 3-hole increment being worth a “flag” (or point).
The program is available to boys and girls, 13 and under, of all
abilities. Our PGA Professionals serve as Captains and are
responsible for creating a welcoming environment for all that
encourages skill and character development. Parental assistance
is encouraged for walking with players and is required for
transportation to away games. Similar to other youth sports, team members wear
uniforms, have practices, and division winners move on to Regional play and a
National Championship is held. More information is available at
http://www.pgajlg.com/format. League play will be between late May and late
June at times arranged with the other Clubs in our divisions (to be announced late
Spring). Cost including uniform shirt and 5 practices: $275 per player.
Interclub Matches
For the certified advanced junior player age 17 and under, these matches have 9
and 18 hole divisions and are played with Roxiticus, Fairmount, Trump and
Somerset Hills in summer months (dates TBD) with each Club typically hosting
once. Players should be able to play 9 and 18 holes on their own with knowledge
of etiquette and basic rules. Cost: TBD (approximately $45 per event based on past
years).
