A- Giving all players the ability to compete and practice their skills as a player and a Team mate can only enhance the future of our Jr. Golf Programs and our High School golf teams giving them the opportunities to go on to secondary schools via the many golf scholarships available. Additionally, the LBGLL does not currently hold any events on Fridays and should not conflict with the local Jr. Golf play schedule.
