2023 Junior Program

• 2023 SSI Junior Golf Program is on track for a great season.  Salt Spring Island Golf Club will be a Program Location for First Tee Canada offering multiple opportunities for members and public kids to learn the game of golf. If you are not familiar with the First Tee Youth Program please visit their website firstteebc.ca The Core Inn Community Centre has also signed up as a Community partner for the First Tee Program.
• First Tee Golf Coaching sessions will be announced in April for the spring 2023 sessions. At First Tee — British Columbia, we’re empowering kids and teens through the game of golf. We are also excited to announce the Junior Disc Golf Program will continue for 2023. With a SSI Junior Golf Membership your Junior has access to the Golf and Disc Golf courses (Ages 7-18). Junior  members receive 1 complementary bucket of range balls every day they come to practice.
• With a Junior Golf Membership, juniors with course experience are eligible to enter Junior Tournaments. Juniors members enjoy the benefits of monies from our Junior Fund, where applicable. They also get preferred access to Wednesday Junior Nights and PJ Friday Nights. For pricing and policies check our website under the https://lightspeedweb.site/saltspringgolf  Golf tab, click rates tab and Junior tab. The junior program will pay for the 1st year of Golf Canada membership in order for the junior member to develop a handicap. This can be used in tournaments and to track player progression. Every subsequent year, Golf Canada membership will be payable by the junior to keep this current.
• The Country Grocery SAVE-A-TAPE program continues to be regular source of monies for our Junior Funds. We have changed the name on the box to reflect our new Junior Disc Golf Program, with a % of that money allocated to the Disc Golf Junior Fund. These funds help our junior membership with expense when attending off island tournaments, food for Junior Nights and many other aspects of Junior Golf and Junior Disc Golf. You can also donate directly to the Junior Golf or Junior Disc Golf Programs in the Pro Shop.
• Every Wednesday Night 4pm – 6pm, starting June 7 – August 23, 2023, is Junior Golf Night at the Club, members and non member aged 7 -18, meet at the Club House and enjoy the game of golf with family and friend.
