Jr Golf Spring League

Junior Golf Spring League

The Junior Golf Spring League at The Ultimate Golf School is an excellent way for your young golfer to dial in their competitive spirit. They’re outdoors, staying active, and enjoying a great game with their friends. And because instructor Barry Churchill,  PGA is a Certified US Kids Golf Instructor, you know your junior golfer is getting the best instruction in Charlotte.

Our 6 week Spring League starts in May and finishes in June. We meet one day per week at Stonebridge Golf Club. Two of the sessions are practices to improve skills in order to perform well on the course. And four of the sessions are on-course matches.

The Spring League is a 17u recreational league but does have a skills prerequisite. Each player must be at or beyond Level 3/100 yards in our Operation 36 Program or Level 3 in our USKids Golf Summer Camps. Individual “Testing” is available if your player has not participated in either Op 36 or the Summer Camps. Our matches play in a 4-person scramble therefore taking the pressure off of playing your own ball.

We score each match using a modified Stableford format. For instance, scoring is 0 points for a bogie, 1 point for a par, 3 points for a birdie, and 5 points for an eagle. As a result, the team with the most points at the end of the season is declared the “Champion”!

We learn and work on all aspects of the game including the full swing, pitching, and putting. Each player learns basic golf course safety and etiquette which is discussed daily. As a result, one of our goals is to have the kids play well on the course. Another goal is to instill traits of true champions by the way of sportsmanship, leadership, and respect for self and others.
