Juniors On the Move (JOM) is the perfect introduction to competitive golf for children aged between 6 and 14. It will be run by Golf NSW.
Nine-hole tournaments are held once a month across New South Wales and are ideal for kids who have completed golf clinic programs and are now ready to take the next step up in their golfing development.
At Juniors on the Move, children will learn how to play the game on a golf course, the rules of golf as well as the important ingredient of etiquette.
Children will receive an accredited Jack Newton Junior Golf (JNJG) 9-hole handicap. They will use this handicap throughout the year and learn how the handicapping system works. Having a handicap gives the children an easily understandable guide to how their skill level is progressing. When they play well their handicap improves, thus providing an instant resource for encouragement and development.
While we support each player’s improvement, the underlying emphasis at Juniors on the Move is about playing golf in a fun and supportive environment. Prizes are awarded at every JOM tournament and there are also opportunities for further development through our complimentary School Holiday clinics run by golfing professionals.
The Juniors on the Move handicapping system is recognised by the Primary School Sports Association and other golfing bodies as an official 9 Hole Handicap for Juniors, allowing them to play in school golf events and State Carnivals. Juniors on the Move had over 460 registered players in 2023 and is the first step in the world-recognised Jack Newton Junior Golf development pathway.
