AS a prelude to the Junior National Championships and School Golf Championships next week, some of the top junior golfers participated in the US Kids Golf Tournament at Baha Mar on Sunday.
According to Georgette Rolle-Harris, the participation has grown to an average of 75 players per event this season, thanks to the collective efforts of coaches, parents, players, and volunteers.
While there is still progress to be made, Rolle-Harris said the growth highlights the tournament’s potential.
“Our goal is to reach an average of 100 players per event, with participants in the 9-hole division scoring no more than 20 over par and those in the 18-hole division staying within 40 over par,” she said. “We are nearing this target and anticipate achieving it by 2026. We appreciate everyone who has contributed to this mission and remain committed to its success.”
