TGA offers several ways for kids to start their competitive journey in a low-key format. We have team leagues in spring and fall, individual tournaments in the summer, plus fun parent-child events in spring and fall.
Our co-ed golf leagues in spring and fall offer a first taste of competition in a fun team format. The 8-10 division plays a scramble format, while golfers in the 11-15 division play their own ball and the top three scores count toward the team total. Leagues are competitive, not instructional. A TGA commissioner is on site to get groups started, post scores, handle any rules issues and monitor pace of play. There is a parent volunteer coach for each four-person team. Parents are encouraged to caddy for their children, though it’s also fine to drop kids off and pick up after the round.
SUMMER TOURNAMENTS — We hold a series of four individual nine-hole tournaments every summer for three co-ed age divisions (8-under, 9-11 and 12-15). The goal of our tournament series is to introduce kids to competition in a low-key setting. All of our events are on weekends, and we encourage parents to caddy for their children. We also provide a scorer/rules official to accompany each foursome. These events are not for beginners. Golfers should have significant on-course experience and a desire to compete.
PARENT-CHILD TOURNAMENTS — These events are held every May and September, with a Saturday tournament at Oak Ridge in New Haven and Sunday at Links of Novi. These are great opportunities to spend an afternoon and evening with your child. Price is just $109 and includes warmup on driving range and putting green, clinic, 9 holes for both players with cart, plus dinner and awards afterwards.
