JUNIOR GOLF

Junior golf : In Ireland junior golf has come increasingly more common, There are a variety of provincial events e.g (Leinster boys , Munster boys, Irish boys) there are 4 main age groups under 13s under15s under 18s and under 21s. The winner is decided over 4 rounds of 18 holes in three days which means that everybody plays the first two days and the top half of the field playing qualify to the final day where there is 36 holes ( 2 rounds) played in one day. The lowest gross score wins the tournament.

 

There are two types of Panels , provincial and national, you first get onto a provincial panel by scoring well in events and having a low handicap, if you continue to achieve wins and get a lower handicap you will be put onto Ireland's elite national panel for your age group.you will then travel to different parts of the world competing in different events with the national team.
