Sub-juniors barred from Saturday golf

Increasing demand for the use of Everglades Golf Course has led the board to terminate Saturday morning sub-junior golfing sessions at Everglades Golf Club.

The change came at the request of the Men’s Golf Committee and was effective from the beginning of September.

Girls or boys wishing to become a junior golfing member of Everglades by progressing through sub-juniors have been asked to contact the club golf professional Darren Chivas.

Darren conducts clinics for sub-juniors each Monday afternoon, commencing at 3:30 pm.

As the daylight hours extend with the onset of summer, provision will be made for members of the sub-junior clinics to get on-course playing experience commensurate with their ability.

This will culminate in regular nine-hole competitions for those who are approaching the point of qualifying for junior membership.

Eighteen-hole qualifying rounds will be arranged for those sub-juniors who, in the opinion of the professional, have reached a standard where they are able to fulfill the requirements to become junior members.

These qualifying rounds will be organised during school holidays when required.

For a more detailed account of the requirements for transition from sub-juniors to junior membership see paragraph 11 of the Constitution-Rules and By Laws, Golf Section contained in the Golf Program book
