Junior Golf TournamentsCompeting in junior golf tournaments can be a fun way for your child to take his or her game to the next level. It’s also a great way for them to make what could turn out to be life-long friends. After he or she has taken a few lessons, your child may be interested in seeing how they play compared to other junior golfers their age. First, ask yourself if your child is ready for competition. You don’t want them to have a bad first experience because they’re not quite ready yet. Is your child competent enough with their skills to enter a competition? Is your child mature enough?

Your next step is to find the right tournament to enter. In some regions of the country, especially where the weather permits playing all year round, there can be quite a few junior golf competition options. They may not be all appropriate for your child, though. For more information on finding and then picking the right tournaments for your junior golfer, click here. As your child’s game progresses, you may be interested in other local competitions along with state/regional and national tours.

Once your child is older and has some experience competing, your junior golfer may decide that they are interested in playing golf in high school and then in college.
