Junior Skills Challenge – 2025 Program Update


Thank you to all junior golfers, families, golf professionals and volunteers who have supported the Junior Skills Challenge program over the last 15 years. Your participation and engagement have helped to shape the program and create memorable experiences for junior golfers across the country.

Having conducted a thorough review of the program this past year, Golf Canada has decided to pause the national operation of the Junior Skills Challenge for the 2025 season and will be informing all past participants and club operators. With this decision, there will not be a National Leaderboard or National Event this year, however, there is still an opportunity for golf courses to host Junior Skills events independently.

Golf Canada has developed a new resource manual which includes everything golf courses require to run a fun and engaging Junior Skills Challenge program. The resources are now available to member clubs by logging into your instructor account, or at the link below:

Junior golfers and families are encouraged to speak with their local club professionals or junior committees about the possibility of hosting a local club event this year.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact Golf Canada at juniorskillschallenge@golfcanada.ca.

ABOUT JUNIOR SKILLS CHALLENGE
Since its launch in 2009, Junior Skills Challenge has introduced thousands of young golfers to the excitement of competitive play in a fun and encouraging environment. The program was designed to help young golfers test their abilities in the three fundamental golf skills: driving, chipping, and putting, while also serving as an entry point to competition within Golf Canada's Long-Term Player Development Model. The Junior Skills Challenge offers a structure for coaches to track improvement and provides a platform for juniors to showcase their progress.
