The Encourage Shield is an annual handicap match-play competition for teams of juniors from Golf Clubs all across NSW.
The objective of the Encourage Shield is to provide young golfers with the opportunity to test their skills and learn match-play competition in an environment that is fun, supportive and free of undue interference.
The competition is handicap match play over 18 holes. Each contest will comprise six individual matches. Each Individual match counts for one point.
The Encourage Shield is an excellent opportunity for those juniors who are not yet at the Junior Pennant level. It gives them a chance to learn the art of Matchplay so in the future when they are taking the step into Junior Pennant they are prepared.
Boys and girls are eligible to play and may play off their current daily handicap which has a maximum for boys at 36 and a maximum for girls at 45.
