There were 128 participants in total (with age ranging from 6 to 11) who took part in a 5-hole Stableford challenge and a Drive, Chip, Putt skills challenge where they were awarded points based on their results.
The top 15 players participants from each division will be selected into the SGA Junior Development Program for 2020 and another 30 additional juniors could be selected based on coaches recommendations.
SGA will partner with local Golf Academies who will provide structured coaching for these juniors and will provide on-course trainings, organise competitions and educational workshops. On top of that, the juniors will also be provided the opportunity to compete in overseas competitions.
With this new initiative, SGA aims to identify our talent pool at a younger age and to provide them with platforms to train and compete.
