Hello to all Leonay Juniors and Parents,
Firstly,thanks to all the Juniors and Parents that were able to participate in our Juniors Information Night last month. It was great to see so many people interested in what we have in store for developing Junior participation at Leonay Golf Club.

The Nomination for can be found pinned up outside the Pro Shop. Competition dates are October 12th,19th, 26th and Nov 2nd, 9th. Nominations close 28th August. For further information you can contact Bob Chruszcz (our Men’s Captain) on 0408 539 575.
October School Holidays
We will be arranging some Juniors-only events to be held during the October School holidays. These will include a 9-hole competition. It won’t be necessary to have your handicap to participate.
Junior Monthly Medal
It has been decided that to encourage more Juniors to participate in golf competitions and to recognise their achievements as young golfers, we will be removing the minimum requirement of 5 Junior starters in order to win a Junior Monthly Medal. With only four Saturday Medal Rounds to go in 2025, this will give us the opportunity to finalise the details for us to commence this new approach for January 2026.
Juniors News - website
We have added an area on the Golf Website dedicated to Juniors Only. As we’re just starting out we only have a few articles right now, but this will be the place to go for all of your Juniors Information. Link to webpage here …
Kind regards,
Junior Development Committee
