We are back once again with our highly successful PGA Junior League!  Our Age 13 & Under Team has produced some fantastic golfers the last two years and we are excited about the next generation of juniors coming through our junior league.  The league features high-level instruction and coaching, an 8 match schedule where we travel and play against the four other teams in our division.  Standouts on the team have a chance to compete on the All Star team which travels all over the place after the regular season ends mid-August.  This is a phenomenal opportunity to get your kids into competitive golf – the format is both beginner friendly while challenging for the more advanced golfers.

Our third championship PGA Junior League season features weekly practices run by our talented professional staff and a full travel season.  Open to all levels of play, and a great way to get your junior into the world of competitive golf!

We have an Age 13 & Under league that’s great for developing the budding superstars of the next generation. See Note below for Age 17 & Under Junior Golfers.

We will be starting up our PGA Junior League season on Sunday, May 26th and will go through our final match (which will be in mid-August).  Here is what the junior league entails:

• Weekly Practices: run by our professional staff — lead instructor Andrew Barbin Jr, assistant professional Zachary Barbin, as well as North East High School Golf Coach Seth Grimes.
• Practice Days: Practices will be predominantly on Sundays at 3pm – 4:30pm, and we will have open days on Monday and Friday nights where juniors can practice and play on their own after 6pm (walking only).  A complete practice schedule will be sent out closer to the date of the first practice.
• A full Travel Schedule:
  • We are finalizing dates with the other courses, but both squads will have 8-10 competitive matches against other teams in our divisions (4 home and 4 travel matches).
  • These matches will fall mostly on Sundays, but we will have a few Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays sprinkled in.  It’s like Travel Baseball or Soccer, but for golf!
• Skill Level: The league is excellent for both newer golfers and experienced golfers alike.  The level of instruction provided by myself, Zach, and Seth will be easily the highest out of any junior league in our division and will greatly benefit all junior golfers of all levels.
• Format: The format of junior league matches is two-player scramble matchplay against the other team, with every 3 holes being its own individual match for 1 point (matches are 9 holes so 3 possible points per match).  There are 4 pairs in a regulation match, so we need at least 8 players per squad.  If we have more than 8, pairings can have 3 kids that rotate every three holes.  This format is great for introducing kids to competitive golf, while also showcasing the skills of our best golfers as they make a bid for the All-Star team.  We had two All-Stars and an All-Star reserve last year who made it very far!  This year we ought to have a few!

Looking forward to a great season!
