Attention Student Athletes in the Hamilton School District!
Junior Charger Golf Program:
A junior golf feeder program has been established for the Sussex Hamilton School District.
Golf does not need to be an individual sport. The Junior Charger golf team format will feature:
- Team Golf: Junior golfers will be grouped to align players with their school districts.
- Format: Team formats allow players to compete alongside teammates, reducing some of the pressure from an otherwise individual sport.
- Fun Atmosphere: Golfing with friends and classmates enhances the fun and encourages development.
- Accessibility: You don't have to be a parent with golf knowledge or have a country club membership to introduce your child to this life-long-sport.
2023 Tryouts:
Tryouts for the 2023 Junior Charger Golf Team will occur on Sunday, October 9, 2022 in the afternoon after 1pm at the Fairways of Woodside driving range. Interested athletes should attend the scheduled tryout, or request to make an alternative appointment to tryout on Saturday, October 15, 2022 after 1pm.
There is a $10 fee to tryout, if paid in advance, or $15 if paid on the tryout date. The tryout fee is collected to help cover the driving range time and related tryout costs.
Junior golfers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend tryouts.
Juniors should bring golf clubs to use at tryouts.
