Our 2008 Junior League at Little Miami Golf Center offers three different divisions to accommodate golfers
ages 7-17. The main goals for our league are to have fun, develop golf skills, and enjoy friendly competition with players
of similar ages and ability. Each division in the league will have five separate events and players will also earn points
toward a Player of the year award.
Little Linkers
The Little Linkers are comprised of golfers ages 7-9. This division
is intended to introduce youngsters to playing on the golf course and keeping score. Each event will be played over 3-5 holes
on the Par 3 Course and the emphasis will be placed on learning and having fun. Players in this division should have an adult
willing to walk along with the player’s group.
Young Tigers
The Young Tigers will be a nine-holes division for golfers ages
10-14 and will consist of two separate flights. Golfers may elect to play in either the Par 3 Course Flight or the Regulation
Course Flight depending on their abilities. This division is intended for golfers that are learning to play and would like
to compete in low pressure environment. Handicaps will be used to determine gross and net winners.
Tour Division
The Tour Division will play 18 holes and is for golfers aged
12-17. This division is intended for more serious golfers that want to learn about competition in tournaments and should
also be good experience for golfers wanting to play on school teams. Handicaps will be used to determine net winners as well
as gross winners for each event.

What Else You Need To Know
Players must register for each individual league
event – Entry fee is $12 per event for
Young Tigers and Tour Division, $5 per event for Little Linkers Division
The deadline for each event will be seven days prior to the event and will be strictly enforced. This will enable us to
make pairings for the event, order the appropriate number of trophies/prizes, and prepare lunches.
The pairings and starting times will be assigned by the Golf professional and should be available at least five days before
the event. Starting times will generally be between 11:00 and 3:00 depending upon the number of players.
Handicaps – Every player in the Young Tigers – Regulation and Tour Divisions will be
entered into the USGA Handicap service and the scores for the league events will be posted. To establish a handicap, five 18-hole
or 10 nine-hole scores are needed. Since most players will not have an established handicap before the events, we will use
the Peoria handicap system to determine the “net” winners. The Peoria system establishes a handicap for the player
based upon the scores made on certain holes during the round.
