Golf Saskatchewan has implemented a new youngster-oriented golf championship for the 2021 provincial championships.
Onlookers at the upcoming Sask Golf junior men’s and women’s championships next month at the Hillcrest Golf Club will see many younger-than-usual faces making their way around the course.

That’s because the provincial organizing body has introduced a new ‘Junior Junior’ division for boys and girls aged 7 to 9 and 10 to 12, with the event running alongside the main tournament for the first two days July 13 and 14.

The event will follow a modified stableford format and will focus as much on development as outright competition, with players taking to the local valley layout in a fun atmosphere while learning to keep score and proper course etiquette alongside their new friends.

The entry fee is $100 plus tax and covers both rounds, along with a $25 food voucher and a tee gift at registration.

Each player is allowed to have one caddy, coach or parent on course alongside them.

The Junior Junior is open to golfers of all levels.

The Junior women’s and men’s provincial tournaments will cover three rounds from July 13 through 15. To register and for more information, visit www.golfsaskatchewan.org.
