PGA Junior League (In-House) | The Links at Mass Golf, Norton, MA

Saturdays May 6th-July 29th, No league play May 13th, June 10th or July 1st  

Age: No older than 13 years of age on July 31, 2022 / Three teams of 6 players each, 18 total players      

Parent Meeting the first day of practice, Saturday May 6th 9:30AM (about 15 minutes)

Three Light Practice sessions (5/6, 5/20, 5/27) before league play begins: putting/short-game, full swing, and league play formats (10:00AM-11:30AM).  Please be advised that although we have a few practices before league play begins, this is not an instructional league.  The focus of this league is a fun competitive team play with a Scramble Format.

PGA Jr. League Format: (6/3, 6/17, 6/24, 7/8, 7/15, 7/22, 7/29-field day weather pending)
Two Player Scramble, Match Play, Link’s Front Nine, 10:00AM start time-approx. 12:00PM finish.
  • Both players tee off, best shot is selected, both players hit from that spot, continue the same procedure until the ball is holed. 
  • Double Par (6) maximum team score. 
  • As in traditional match play, each hole is won by the team with the lowest score.
  • In each nine-hole match, there are three 3-hole flags, 1 point per flag for a total of 3 points available in each match. The team that wins more holes in a flag, wins that flag, and one point toward the team’s total score.  If a flag ends in a tie, then each team will be awarded a half-point. The team with the most points, of a possible 9 points (3 matches worth 3 points each), at the end of the game is determined to be the winner.
  • Each team will play four league games.  The team not playing the week of the other two team’s matches will play a practice round scramble with their teammates and coach or may be selected to fill in for competing teams that have less than 6 players.
If your junior participates in other conflicting sports leagues, you are going away on extended vacation, or anything else that would keep your junior golfer from missing any of the practices or matches, please do not sign-up for this league.  We are looking for full commitment.  If the above schedule works for you, please let me know asap. Priority List to participate (in order): (1) 2023 First Tee participants, (2) 2022 First Tee participants, (3) Links’ Junior Members, and (4) the general public. If your golfer is selected, I will provide you with an access code, as well as either sponsorship codes or Scholarship application that you will need at the time of registration that will wave all fees to participate (the regular league price is $400; $301 league fee + $99 membership fee), making the league free of charge, compliments of the TPC Clubs of the PGA Tour.    

If you would like to sign up your junior golfer, please send me an email at dchapman@massgolf.org and let me know by March 25th. I expect the league to fill up quickly.

Thanks! I am looking forward to another fun, successful league season.

Regards,

Drew Chapman, PGA
