Academy Junior League

and

Academy Junior Golf Tour at Bunker Hill Golf Course

Academy Junior League 

 

The Academy Junior League is a fun, competitive league open to experienced junior golfers (boys and girls)  in Grades 7-12, who are serious about improving and building their game.   The league will be held on the first three Tuesdays in June (June 4, 11, and 18) and July (July 2, 9 and 16) beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Bunker Hill Golf Course in Medina, Ohio.  

 

Players will be divided into three divisions based on ability.  A point system used for scoring will be in place to ensure equitable competition.  Lunch will be provided.  

​

Divisions:  Please note that the scoring requirements for each division have changed

​

  • Par Division - for players with an average score of 53-59 (for 9 holes), will play 9 holes each week.  (Golfers in the Par Division must be able to consistently shoot under 60 from the forward tees.  If you are not sure if your child's game is a suitable fit for this division, we will be holding qualifying rounds (Date and Time TBD) to assess their skills prior to enrollment.)

  • Birdie Division - for players with an average score of 46-52 (for 9 holes) will play 18 holes each week

  • Eagle Division – for players with an average score under 45 (for 18 holes), will play 18 holes each week

  • Golfers may be re-assigned to a different division based on weekly point averages as the league progresses. 

 

 

League Point System:  Points per hole will be awarded as follows:

 

Par Division

  • Double Bogey  +1 pts

  • Bogey  +2 pts

  • Par  +3 pts

  • Birdie  +4 pts

  • Eagle  +5 pts

Birdie and Eagle Divisions

  • Birdie and Eagle Divisions: Females and all 6th graders (male and female) will play from the gold tees.  All others will play from the white tees.

Pace of Play:  

  • To maintain Pace of Play, players will pick up at Par +3.  Rounds are to be completed in 2 hours for 9 holes and 4 hours for 18 holes.  If a group falls behind, they will be directed to skip a hole to keep pace with the group in front of them.

Academy Junior Golf Tour

 

The Academy Junior Golf Tour will be held on June 25 and July 23, beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Bunker Hill Golf Course in Medina, Ohio.  This tournament is open to experienced golfers, boys and girls, in Grades 7-12.  Please note that the Academy Junior Golf Tour is a separate event from the Academy Junior Golf League.  As such, participation in the league is not required to play in the tournaments.  Additionally, our league golfers are encouraged, but not required, to participate in the tournaments.

 

Players will be separated into three divisions (Par, Birdie and Eagle) based on average scores using the same criteria as for the Academy Junior League (see above).

 

Par Division will play 9-holes, while the Birdie and Eagle Division will play 18 holes.  Scoring will be based on the same point system used for the Academy Junior League (see above).

 

Lunch will be provided.  Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each division.

Guidelines for League and Tournament Play

 

  • This season, Bunker Hill is requesting that we provide a final count on the number of tee times we need each week by Monday morning.  In order to get a count each week,  a group text will be sent each Saturday morning to all registered participants.  Please respond to the text with your child's name and a Yes/No answer if they will/won't be playing that Tuesday.  Responses will be due by midnight on Sunday so that tee times can be confirmed with Bunker Hill on Monday morning. Please note that no response will be taken as a negative response, and your child will be considered a non-participant for that week, even if they are registered and paid.  Once our tee times are secured, we cannot add tee times, so it may be necessary to turn your child away on Tuesday morning if we have not received a response from you.

​

  • All golfers must sign in at the registration table by 11:15 a.m. (15 minutes prior to tee time) so that we can assemble groups and confirm groups with the starter.  Any golfer who arrives past this time will not play.

 

  • All golfers must have a release form signed by a parent or legal guardian prior to play.  A pdf version of this form will be emailed to you after we receive your registration.  

 

  • Each player must have their own clubs.  Please remember to bring sufficient balls, tees, and ball markers.​

​

  • Proper golf attire is required.  No jeans or tee shirts.

 

  • Please be prepared for the weather.  Play will not be suspended or shortened due to heat, cold, or rain, unless the course makes the decision to stop play.  Please note that play will be suspended if lightning is detected in the area.  We have experienced extreme heat conditions in the past.  It will be the parents call as to whether or not they want their child to participate in league or tournament play in hot conditions.  If they play, please make sure that they are prepared with plenty of water or sports drink, hat, etc.

​

  • Refund and Make-up Policy:  We do not offer make-ups or refunds for missed league dates due to personal reasons.  A gift certificate will be issued for the cost of the registration fee if a cancellation request is received prior to the start of the program.  We do not offer refunds or credit for missed league dates once the program has begun.
