This program is suitable for all children from a beginner level right up until obtaining a handicap and playing competitions. The program has 2 main areas, being the development of the child's golfing skills and the development of their long term athletic development.
Well done to Ashley Zadel and Jack Laine-Wyllie who participated in this years Victorian Junior Masters at Waverley Golf Club! Ashley aged 16 with a handicap of 4 and Jack aged 15 with a handicap of 9, both displayed some excellent talent on the golf course. We are very proud to have them as Junior Tigers and look forward to seeing them excel in their lessons this year!
A big thank you to Schweppes who gave these Junior Tigers the chance to shine!
Looking forward to 2012 :)
On Sunday April 29th, Junior Tigers from across Melbourne descended upon Riverside Golf Course for the latest instalment of our Tournament Schedule. The elite field of Blue/Black level players were greeted by cool conditions and a strong southerly breeze, which provided a stern test.
Play got underway at 2pm and it wasn’t long before the players realised it was going to be a tough, closely contested day. At the end of the day the tight 9-hole layout wilted and Jack Chrystie was left standing as the winner. Jack Chrystie of Riverside handled the conditions superbly with a round of 45 and recorded a one shot victory over Brighton's Lachlan Bridgeman. Both players can be seen below with their new trophy cabinet additions.
We would like to offer a big thankyou to all the competitors that turned out for the tournament and to Philip Tawa for running the event. The next event on the Junior Tiger Tournament Calendar will be held at Elsternwick on the 20th May at 2pm and is eligible for Blue/Black level golfers.
Happy Golfing!

Golf is a game of tradition and ritual. People are drawn to the sport because of its tradition and timelessness. It feels peaceful and serene to walks down the fairways at Brighton surrounded by beautiful mature trees and a variety of wildlife it is a magnificent place for adults and children to spend the day playing golf.
A very enthusiastic field of Junior Tiger golfers participated in the Easter Golf Competition. Golfers between the ages of 6-10 years old took on the first 3 holes at Brighton. The weather conditions were absolutely perfect at the sun rays glistened across nice lush fairways. Not even a breath of wind was blown during the competition which put a smile on the Junior Tigers faces. I was very impressed as were the parents by the sounds of the applause on the way around the golf course by the high standards of golf. Few sounds are as pleasing as the sound of a well struck golf shot. Lucky for me that I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing many great shots during the competition! It is clear the golf coaching is helping junior golf in Australia and the standards of the golf players keep improving. I look forward to hosting the next tournament already!
