Friendly competition means serious summer fun

St. Peters Golf Course makes golf fun at its summer Junior Leagues. Area kids ages 7-17 can play in leagues within their age/skill levels, play rounds with their friends, and get helpful tips about proper golf etiquette—all while striving to earn a trophy on “Championship Day.”
St. Peters Junior Leagues begin on June 8, 2011, this summer. The leagues were moved back a week due to area schools staying in session later for snow make-up days. Play will continue weekly each Wednesday for nine weeks. The last day of Junior Leagues on Aug. 3 is called Championship Day, when St. Peters Golf Course will provide lunch, trophies and a raffle.
Three divisions are available, depending on age and skill level. Cubs are for ages 7-10, and include 9-hole rounds on a shortened course. Ages 11-17 are split into Tigers, who play 9 holes from the yellow tees for juniors, and Masters, who play 18 holes from the white tees.
St. Peters Junior Leagues are “assisted play” leagues, which means that players are guided through their rounds of golf to learn about the etiquette of the game and proper way to move along in a timely manner.
Junior players get to choose their group of four players each round so that they can play with friends. After each round of golf, players are treated to a cool refreshment while relaxing and checking the day’s scores on a large scoreboard.
Registration forms are available at St. Peters Golf Course, 200 Salt Lick Rd., as well as online at www.stpetersmo.net. Call 636.397.2227 to learn more.
