1. Those with an established USGA course handicap of 24 or lower are allowed to participate in official club matches/tournaments and therefore;
play for all the official match/tournament prizes including Emmastad Cup Points;
play for so-called extras such as nearies, longest drives, etc.;
pay the same participation fee as adults.
2. Those with and established USGA course handicap of 25 or higher are allowed to play during official club matches/tournaments, however:
do not NOT play for the official match/tournament prizes nor Emmastad Cup Points;
do play for so-called extras such as nearies, longest drives, etc;
play for a separately created “Junior Category Prize"
pay a participation fee of Naf. 5,=;
-It is the responsibility of the parents of the Juniors mentioned in 2. and not the Match Committee to make sure their children can be grouped in a flight that includes at least two (2) adults. -In case of a full field, priority will be given to players who participate for the official match/tournament prizes. -Juniors mentioned in 1. can not play for the “Junior Category Prize". -Male Juniors 10 years and younger play from the White tees; Male Juniors 11 years and older play from the Blue Tees; All Female Juniors play from the White Tees.
