The Jack Newton Junior Golf club in Sydney is thrilled to invite junior golfers from all over the region to participate in the annual Encourage Shield. This exciting handicap match play competition is designed to provide young golfers with the perfect opportunity to showcase their skills and experience the thrill of competitive golf in a supportive and enjoyable environment.
The format of the Encourage Shield is simple yet engaging. Teams of juniors from various golf clubs in the Sydney Metropolitan Region come together to compete in a match play competition over 18 holes. Each match consists of six individual contests, with each individual match counting for one point. This provides a fair and exciting way for golfers to contribute to their team's overall score.
Boys and girls of all skill levels are encouraged to participate in the Encourage Shield. They can play off their current daily handicap, with a maximum limit set at 36 for boys and 45 for girls. It's an excellent opportunity for junior golfers who are still developing their game and may not yet be at the Junior Pennant level. The Encourage Shield allows them to gain valuable experience in match play, ensuring they are well-prepared when they take the leap into Junior Pennant competition in the future.
The Jack Newton Junior Golf club believes strongly in fostering a love for the game of golf among young players. The Encourage Shield is not just about competition, but also about creating a fun and supportive atmosphere where participants can grow and thrive. It's an event that truly embodies the spirit of junior golf, providing an enjoyable learning experience for all involved.
