Junior Golf Development Programme
The NSRCC Junior Golf Development Programme (JGDP) was launched in 2006 to provide a supervised and structured platform to nurture young golfers for competition. The programme grooms those selected towards competing at the national level eventually.
The programme is funded by NSRCC.
Programme
Junior golfers selected for the programme will undergo training by the club’s resident golf academy, Phil Brew Golf Academy, with overall supervision by the club’s Greens Committee. Upon graduation at the end of each calendar year, junior golfers who have achieved a handicap of 8 or lower would be recommended to the Singapore Golf Association for its national youth team selection.
Eligibility
To be eligible for consideration for the programme, golfers have to be NSRCC junior members and possess a valid golf handicap of 24 and below for boys and 32 and below for girls. The handicap has to be issued by NSRCC or a club affiliated to the Singapore Golf Association
The age eligibility are:
Team A – 16 years and below
Team B – 14 years and below
Students of the Singapore Sports School and Golf Academy are not eligible.
Selection for JGDP
Each year, NSRCC selects a maximum of 12 junior golfers for JGDP. NSRCC junior members aged 16 and below (for Team A) and 14 and below (for Team B) as at 1 Jan are eligible for selection.
The club computes its Order of Merit list in December. This is a player achievement list based on scores from monthly medals and club competition. Junior golfers for the two teams (Teams A and B) for the JGDP would be selected from this list.
Team A is open to golfers aged 16 years old and below as of 1 January of the year. A maximum of eight golfers from the Order of Merit would be selected base on scores. We will select best six gross scores from the total number of tournament participated in. Juniors get more points for more tournaments they play in.
Team B is open to golfers aged 14 years old and below as of 1 January of the year. A maximum of four golfers from the Order of Merit would be selected based on a minimum of three club competition scores. It could be from Par 3 course and/or Phil Brew Golf Par 3 Tournament scores.
Selection in Subsequent Years
A golfer selected for the JGDP may be re-selected for the programme for another year (maximum two years duration). This is dependent on the golfer’s performance and on the available vacancies in the respective JGDP teams. Any golfer’s third year inclusion would be subject to special review and consideration by the Club. The Club is the sole authority on selection and its decision is final. It is not obliged to explain or discuss its final decision with members.
