JUNIOR INVITATIONAL TOUR
The Junior Invitational Golf Tour was founded in 2023 to provide junior golfers the opportunity to play and gain competitive experience, learn the rules of golf, while having fun and meeting new friends. The series of One Day- 18 hole tournaments are designed to be an introduction to competition where juniors can develop their skills. For many, these events will be their first competition.
Purpose: To increase the number of junior golfers participating in invitationals at member clubs
Participants: Golf Canada members aged 10-18 (depending on tournament)
