Playing golf in the
Post-Season
The YDP regular season came to a close with the
Player of the Year Championship, but there have
been a number of events since then. Players in
the Youth Development Program have the unique
opportunity to play events throughout the fall
when the Playing Members, who are playing on
a high school team, are unable to play in outside
events because of IHSA rules.
This year, during the fall, there are three Fall
Junior Elite Events, as well as, two Fall Junior
Leagues. These provide opportunities for players
to continue playing tournament golf past the
regular, summer season.
Junior Elite Events are 36-hole, Stroke Play
competitions. Players have the opportunity to
earn AJGA PBE and scores will be submitted to
Junior Golf Scoreboard.
The Fall Junior Leagues meet once a week after
school for a three week span. The players will
be paired on-site with other players who are in
attendence that week and will play 9 holes.
The first Fall Junior Elite Event is at Deerpath
GC on August 25-26. The next Fall Junior Elite
will be at Pheasant Run on September 22-23.
Registration for this event will close on September
14, and there are still spots available at this event.
The final Junior Elite Event of the season will take
place at Winnetka GC on October 13-14. There
are spots remaining in this event as well, with
registration closing on October 5.
The Junior League is hosted at Sportsman’s CC
in Northbook, IL, on Tuesdays from September
4-18, and at Cog Hill G&CC on Wednesdays from
September 5-19.
