Country Club of Leawood's Junior Golf Program

In 2018, we had over 100 juniors participate, and our PGA Junior League team won their league. We saw significant improvement from players in all of our levels from our youngest 3 to 7-year-old Little Linksters to our Advanced Academy group!

In 2019 we are looking forward to ramping that success up even more and continue to help more juniors fall in love with this incredible 2019 we will continue to stress the importance of the juniors getting out on the golf course as we feel it is a vital part of them improving their games. We will again have players start a short yardage with a goal of shooting 36, and that player will progress to longer distances as they continue to shoot better scores throughout the season. This year we will also offer several chances for the juniors to play the golf course at longer distances as we know the short distances don’t always challenge them to hit every shot as a full course will. The goal is to provide a great mixture of longer distances and still to test out of the shorter distances (25, 50, 100, 150, 200, standard tee) to keep the kids into it and motivated to improve. Each week we do have the players play from the shorter distances we will provide prizes to the boy and girl with the best score from each yardage!

The flyers below will detail our available clinics. If you aren’t certain which one fits your junior best, I will gladly help get them in the proper clinic for them to excel!

CCL PGA Junior League
 

PGA Junior League Golf

PGA Junior League Golf is an enjoyable, low-pressure event for our juniors. The idea behind this is to set up a team format that will be similar to what our youngest players use for other sports. As a part of the CCL PGA Junior League Team, the players will receive a jersey with a number similar to other sports. Check out the above website for more cool information about PGA Junior League!
 
Who is eligible? The PGA Junior League will be open to our players 13 and under.
 
What is the format? Each match will have 12 players playing. Those 12 players will split into four teams of three and each of them will play a 9-hole match against one of the teams from the other course. The 9-Hole match will be split into three 3-hole matches (each of these being worth one flag). The team with the most flags at the end of the matches is the winning team. During the matches, the players will play a scramble format.
 
When and where are the events? We will be in a league with Lake Quivira, Hallbrook and Blue Hills. We will play a home and away match with each team.
