Team Smith has won the 2024 MyGolf Junior League, finishing with four wins and one loss for the season after a fantastic final round of matches were played on Sunday 17th March at the Mt Xavier Golf Club.

Starting the day in second place, Team Smith defeated Team Lee whilst the previously undefeated Team Day surprisingly lost to the previously winless Team Green.

These results left Team Smith and Team Day locked together, both on four wins and one loss, and each having won 123.5 holes throughout the five-week competition.

Team Smith was declared the winner following a countback.

Held over five rounds in conjunction with Junior Pennant, the MyGolf Junior League catered for a minimum of 60 boys and girls each week, with a total 82 players participating over the course of the season.

Played in teams of ten, matches were played over nine holes on a shortened course. Players participated in pairs with a Two-Ball Ambrose Match Play format used.

One of the priorities of Ballarat District Golf is to grow junior participation and the MyGolf Junior League is an important activity in our junior development pathway.

Many thanks to:

  • The players for participating and to the parents for supporting their involvement including supervising matches
  • Junior Development Committee members Andrew Cartledge, Tony Collier, Bailey Holloway and Jeanette Tocchet for coordinating the competition
  • Maryborough Golf Club, Midlands Golf Club, Buninyong Golf Club, Bacchus Marsh West Golf Club and Mt Xavier Golf Club for each hosting a round of matches
