Tournament Support for Juniors

Helping young players learn how to compete


Perform When it Matters Most

Tournament golf for Junior is about more than scorecards. Young players are learning how to manage nerves, make decisions, handle setbacks, and perform under pressure, often for the first time.

Tournament Support for Juniors is designed to help players learn how to compete, develop confidence, and build habits that support long term performance.

The aim isn’t short term results, but better learning, healthier competition experiences, and steady progress over time.



How Junior Tournament Support Helps

• Creating clarity before tournaments

• Helping players stay composed and focused

• Reducing emotional overload after mistakes

• Learning effectively from competition without judgement

Parents are supported as part of the process, with clear communication and appropriate involvement.


What Players Learn Through Tournament Support

• Simple pre round routines that reduce nerves

• Clear tactical plans they can trust

• Emotional reset skills after mistakes

• Focus and commitment without overthinking

• The ability to reflect and learn after tournaments

These are skills that support both golf performance and wider personal development.
