Junior Golf Program

In developing the goals for the Junior Golf Program at Sunnyside Country Club, one must appreciate the educational potential that exists in the game of golf. Golf, like all sports, provide many opportunities for the development (social, physical, emotional and mental) of the junior. Our goal for the Junior Program is to offer mutiple positive learning experiences for your junior golfer. We want juniors to learn to play the game to the best of their ability. They will be taught golf skills, rules, etiquette, basic strategy and they will be encouraged to practice and play. These skills will also contribute to your juniors social skills, emotional control along with other postivie character values.


Junior Fantasy League
 


 The goals of the Fantasy League are to educate the kids about playing the game in a friendly manner and at the same time be competitive. We want the kids to be able to play the game and use the skills that they are learning in the instruction portion of the Junior Golf Program. Golf is like anything else, the more times you play the better you will become.

 

League Format:

 

When the kids sign up for the league, they will be asked how many holes they will be playing on Friday mornings. They will then be put into a group and the names will be drawn at random. The teams will have an equal number of kids on them. Each team will also draw a tour player's name at random and that players score on that Friday will also be used in calculating the team score each week. Each Friday the kids will play the number of holes that they signed up for. The teams will receive points based on the following...

 

Participation each week                       2 points (per junior that plays)

Win the match                                    1 point

Tie the match                                     1/2 point

 

Each time the junior plays, with or without a parent 1/2 point other than Fridays.

 

You mush check in with the Golf Shop to receive 1/2 point.
