Playing golf in the
Post-Season
The summer is officially over with many of our members having gone
back to school, but that doesn’t mean the golf season is over! Not
only does the Youth Development Program offer several multi-day
tournaments and after school leagues, but there are also other options
such as the PGA Jr Leagues, golf academies, after school junior golf
programs at various courses and more!
Once a player has made a high school golf team, they are unable to
play in outside events during the course of the IHSA season, but not
making a high school team doesn’t mean the season should be over.
Practicing throughout the off season can help a player to keep their
swing tournament ready and help a player to be ready for the next golf
season when it comes.
Not in high school yet? That’s ok too! There are a number of great
opportunities to play golf and improve your game through not only the
Illinois Elementary School Association, but also through the IJGA.
It’s always a good idea to keep up with your game in the off season so
you are ready to start playing golf in the Spring when events start up
again. The IJGA even offers an event at TopGolf during President’s Day
weekend to help encourage players to keep up with their games.
Looking for one last event this fall?
The Fall Jr Elite #3 @ Winnetka which will be
played on October 14-15 at Winnetka GC still
has spots available in certain divisions!
