GAVC Play Day Tournaments
GAVC Play Day Tournaments are entry level 9 hole developmental tournaments that serve three purposes:
- Provides essential on course playing experiences - learning golf MUST be accompanied by PLAYING golf.
- Basic Program Participants can earn their "Scoring" Requirement pin to move up in rank.
- Juniors interested in playing competitive golf can play in a non-threatening & comfortable environment to get familiar with how tournament golf works. After a few of these events, players will have enough experience to move on and play the US Kids Golf Local Tour.
Play Days will be offered monthly during March-November of 2013 at Los Robles, River Ridge, Sinaloa, and Rustic Canyon. Play Days will be conducted in the late afternoon.
Play Day Tournaments are unique in the following ways:
- Parent or Friend Caddies are encouraged and are required for first time players AND players 10 years old or younger. (Caddies must be at least 15 years of age - with prior notice, GAVC can provide teen mentor caddies)
- Course set up is kid friendly. Golfers will play a course where Par 3's, Par 4's, and Par 5's, will be set up to match the age, strength, and experience of young players. (See Course set up chart below).
- Prizes & Awards are given for each age division.
