High school format is used for golfer pairings, scoring, and determining
team wins (Junior League Division)
5 lowest scores of 8 golfers on team make up the team score (Junior

Training League Division golfers play with their own team members
on the mini-course but do not maintain score.
Shotgun starts are used for the Junior League Division (all golfers
start/end their matches at same times)
Matches in the Junior League Division are expected to take 2 to
2 ½ hours.
We need them! We will be asking for parents to consider being a
coach on the registration form. Coaching in this case essentially
means coordinating the team. Providing golf instruction is not required
of a coach since that’s included in the program. Coaching involves
attending 1 golf meeting on golf rules and etiquette, disseminating
information to the members of the team, coordinating and attending
the golf matches, making sure golf course etiquette is adhered to
during play and that score cards are signed and turned in after
match play, and most importantly that everyone has a good experience.

CYC
card - Every coach and every assistant coach needs to have a
CYC card along with every player who is currently in 5th grade and
up. Adults need a driver's license or passport, children need a
birth certificate or baptismal certificate (must have birth date
on it). These cards cost $3.00 for coaches and players. Coach's
card never expires and players expire in 7 years.
CYC
Coaching Clinic is a good introduction to coaching in general,
practice organization and so forth. Attendance one time is good
for life.
