PGA GolfSixes Junior League is a fun, social and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls, ages 13 and under, to learn and enjoy the game of golf from PGA Pros. At its core, PGA GolfSixes League is a group of local golf teams who play a series of games against each other, utilizing a nurturing and social scramble format. PGA Professionals exclusively serve as Captains and are responsible for creat
ing a welcoming environment for all that encourages skill and character development. While the format and key pillars of PGA GolfSixes League apply to all teams and leagues across the country, the program is organized at the local level by individual PGA Professionals in your community. As such, the way in which each league or team operates - whether it be the number of teams in a league, the scheduling of games or the number of practices - may vary slightly from team to team. Depending on who the home team is, in addition to course scheduling and availability, will determine where the game is played. During the course of a game, four matches are played by at least two players from each team against each other. The winner of the game is determined by the total number of points won within all matches. Friends, family and spectators are encouraged to attend and watch - but not participate or aide - each game! A match consists of two teammates (or three, with a substitute) competing against a similar grouping from the opposing team in a fun, nurturing scramble format. The match lasts for six holes and is broken up into three 2-hole segments called "sets". Due to PGA GolfSixes League's recreational nature, every player on the team is encouraged to participate. While each match is only actively played by two players from each team at any given time, the team Captain may substitute an alternate player into the match at the start of any set. When the alternate player is not one of the two active players in his or her team's match, they can still play an integral role in the success of their team by reading putts, discussing strategy, tending the flag stick and aiding pace-of-play. At no time should an alternate ever feel left out of the team's efforts!
