Question 1

What do we do?

Accepted Answer

The Club caters for juniors of all ages and ability, with regular competitions in 3, 6, 9, 13 and 18 hole events. Juniors are moved up into the next division as their handicap shows they are ready. This helps them build their skills at their own pace yet keeps them at a competitive level.
 
Club Professional, Jeff Hoy provides clinics for junior members during the year.

Question 2

When do we do it?

Accepted Answer

We hold junior competitions on Sunday mornings from February through to November (see attached calendar). Tee off times start at 07:00am through to 08:30am. Each week we have prizes for winners and runners up in each division. We also provide prizes for pin shots in each division. Parents are encouraged to support their children and must accompany 3 and 6 hole players.

Question 3

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

As a sport, golf has a very low basic outlay. We provide new players with access to clubs or low-cost starter sets are available from our pro shop. Then as your child plays more, you can add extra clubs to their kits - it’s then up to your budget on how much you want to spend.

We aim to keep membership fees to a minimum and golf to a maximum:
 • Rockhampton Golf Club Membership Fee – Gives you access to the club and course to play and practice as much as your child wishes
 • Junior Club Sign On Fee – Gives your child membership to the junior golf club and includes a      Rockhampton Junior Golf Club shirt 
 • Competition Fees – Payable when your child would like to play in the junior club competitions. ($5 entry fee to cover weekly prizes)

* Please note the Rockhampton Golf Club sets the Junior Fee in March, so may vary slightly on last year’s fees.  They also offer pay-by-the-month direct debit options if this is more suitable, but additional charges may apply.

Question 4

What do you need?

Accepted Answer

A set of golf clubs is required, but if you don't yet have a set, they can be borrowed from the Club Professional at no cost while you are getting started.

Question 5

How can my child practice?

Accepted Answer

Our club professional, Jeffrey Hoy, holds free golf clinics on a weekly basis throughout the year. These clinics are designed to accommodate children of all ages and levels who either want to learn the basics of golf, or fine tune their game. You will see your child build up in confidence and pick up the fundamentals of golf very quickly after attending these clinics.

Question 6

Are there any major events?

Accepted Answer

As part of our Junior Squad, your child will be able to enter Junior Opens held throughout the year at golf clubs throughout Queensland. We encourage our members to participate at these events and represent Rockhampton Junior Golf Club. Here, they will have the chance to win great prizes and the opportunity to play at different golf courses to test their skills.

Question 7

How can parents get involved?

Accepted Answer

Rockhampton Junior Golf Club is a club run on the help of volunteers and we encourage parents to get involved within the club in any capacity. Please ensure you let the coordinator know if you wish to volunteer your time to assist.

Question 8

Club values

Accepted Answer

Here at Rocky Junior Golf, we instil three core values in our players to live by when playing and representing Rocky Junior Golf Club. These values are sportsmanship, honesty and courtesy which are the core values of any great sportsperson. We believe that by instilling and living these values on the sports field, it will have a positive effect on children's lives away from it.
