If your child is ready to test his or her skills in competition, our first summer individual tournament is Sunday, June 27, at Somerset Park in Troy, with tee times beginning at 12:30 p.m. We have three coed age divisions — 8-under, 9-11 and 12-15. The top three golfers in each division will earn a medal. Somerset is a very kid-friendly course, with six par-3s and three par-4s.
TGA’s goal in 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. Your child should have significant on-course experience and a desire to compete. But our events do provide a lower-stress introduction than most tournaments.
After the Somerset event, we go to Rammler in Sterling Heights on Friday evening, July 16. Next is Maples in Novi on Saturday morning, July 31. The final event is at The Myth in Oakland Township on Saturday morning, Aug. 14.
Entry fee is $35 per event.
