GolfSixes League
-
GolfSixes League is a fun, fast, and friendly team-based golf competition for junior players, run at local golf clubs across the country. It’s the perfect first step for young golfers who are ready to play on the course, providing the excitement of representing their club in a relaxed, sociable, and low-pressure team environment. The focus is on fun, making friends, and building a lifelong love for the game.
-
The format is specifically designed to be inclusive and build confidence. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Team Format: Clubs create a squad of junior players who then compete in pairs.
Six-Hole Matches: As the name suggests, matches are played over six shortened holes, keeping the game fast-paced and engaging.
Texas Scramble: The pairs play a "Texas Scramble," where the best shot from the two players is chosen for the next shot. This takes the pressure off any single player and encourages teamwork.
League Structure: Local clubs form a league and play fixtures against each other throughout the season, earning points for their team just like in a football league.
-
Yes! Whether you're a golf club or a parent, there's a clear way to get involved.
For Golf Clubs: If your club is looking to build a thriving and inclusive junior section, you can register to become a GolfSixes League host club. The Golf Foundation provides the resources, branding, and support to help you get a league up and running in your area.
For Parents & Young Golfers: If your child is keen to join a team, the first step is to find a local participating golf club. You can visit our website to find a junior-friendly club near you that runs a GolfSixes League team.
