National Skills Challenge

The Challenges

The 'Get Into Golf' National Skills Challenge has been developed for young golfers and is designed to be challenging at all levels, but above all it is intended to be FUN. 

The Challenge covers 5 golfing disciplines, putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play & full swing - each discipline has 2 Challenge activities, making 10 in total.

The National Skills Challenge is broken into 2 separate Challenges:

 

The Rookie Challenge – for juniors under 12 years of age, divided into 2 groups:

  • 8 years and under
  • 9 to 11 years
The Tour Challenge – for juniors aged 12 to 17 years of age, divided into 2 groups:

  • 12 to 14 years
  • 15 to 17 years
The Rookie and Tour Challenges each consist of 10 different tests based on five golfing disciplines: 

  • Putting
  • Chipping
  • Pitching
  • Bunker play
  • Full swing
It is hoped that these challenges will encourage junior players to improve their golf, increase their enjoyment of the game and encourage them to practice the skills required to complete each test. Frequent and structured coaching will allow juniors to develop as players and increase their overall Challenge results. It is recommended that these challenges are undertaken in conjunction with a structured coaching programme

Once a golf club is registered, they are able to hold 3 official Seasonal Challenges per year for their junior players.  The scores from these events are inputted onto the leaderboards and the top players nationwide are invited to take part in a National Final.
