April Bulletin 2025

PGA Junior League Golf We are excited to begin another season of PGA Junior League Golf, with registration now open. This developmental program is a terrific way to get junior golfers of all abilities, from ages 8-17, involved in the game. PGA Junior League Golf is a team effort, includes numbered jerseys, practices and matches and also has an “All-Star” post-season team! We anticipate having two teams represent Wilmington Country Club in 2025. We look to continue with our 13U team and start a (new!) 17U team this year as well. Each team will be limited to 16 players. While formatted as a competition, the main goal of the program is to develop golf skills while promoting a casual, team environment with an emphasis on fun! Matches are played with twelve players, and we will add four additional players per team expecting that some juniors will not be able to attend all matches. We cannot guarantee each junior will play every match.

Please note, parent participation is required and vital to the success of the Junior League. Please plan to drive players to away matches and stay at matches for the duration of the match to support & chaperone our team.

Who: Junior golfers ages 8-17 of all abilities (and supportive parents!). All juniors are welcome regardless of experience.

What: Approximately six 9-hole matches with groups playing a two-person scramble, match-play format. Also included are six or more practices and self-scrimmages. Practices will be supervised, including structured activities and professional instruction, working on all aspects of the game.

When: April through July. Practices begin in April and matches are June-July. The exact dates of the match and practice schedule will be available soon.

Where: Matches will be played at various area courses. The 13U division will compete at Fieldstone, Bidermann, Concord CC, and DuPont CC. The 17U division will have some additional travel, playing at venues like Bellewood, Blue Bell, Cedarbrook, DuPont, and Rolling Green.
