Stuart Appleby Junior Golf

TEAM GOLF INTRODUCTION

The Team Golf for schools program is designed to offer school aged children the opportunity of competing in Australia’s largest participant sport.

The event is open to all school children in years 7 - 9, both male and female. No handicap is required to participate in TEAM GOLF, just a desire to be part of a team and represent your school. It also adds to the experiences of children already exposed to golf through their Primary School and the VPSSA championship.

TEAM GOLF is played in an ambrose format over 9 holes. Ambrose is a 4 person team based competition, engendering both teamwork and fun.

Details and venue will be uploaded here as soon as they are confirmed.
