S U R R E Y G O L F Aim of the Rookie Tour * Act as a bridge to the mainstream junior opens * Provide a competitive element appropriate to age and standard. * Give competitive experience outside of Clubs * Build team spirit and friendship within their peer group * Allow identification of talent and form for Surrey coaching & teams * Provide fun through qualifying events, par 3 and limited hole competitions There is a mixture of course length and qualifying/non qualifying competitions for both boys and girls with official handicaps of 0-36. For some it s perhaps their first real chance at competitive golf outside of their Clubs. For others a chance to further develop their competitive skills against players of a similar age and standard. For both the boys and girls there are Scratch and Handicap Order of Merit competitions. Tees and course length will be appropriate to age and ability sometimes allowing the introduction of shortened tees for the younger player.
