GST offers a range of opportunities for juniors to get into golf, obtain a handicap and play socially or competitively

9-hole stroke is a low-stress way for children to get into competition golf, with a “pick up after 10 shots” rule

6-hole Ambrose is organised in groups of 2 (or 3 if there’s an odd number) and is perfect for newer players. The holes are shortened (usually < 180 m) and children play in a team to complete the hole. This format offers a supportive way to build golf skills.

Callaway Junior Summer Series

This series is played in Oct/Nov/Dec each year involving three rounds hosted by different courses. Playing three layouts allows the participating juniors to test themselves in different playing conditions.

The play includes 18-hole and 9-hole competitions, plus a shortened 6-hole option for beginners. This format allows younger golfers to be exposed to more experienced junior players. 
 
Prizes awarded include the best gross (aggregate over 3 18-hole rounds) and the best nett (best 2 of the 3 18-hole scores).

Callaway has naming rights and is a generous supporter of GST Junior Programs.

North vs South

Each year, GST forms a North vs South Squad in preparation for four matches against a team from the north of the State. These matches are generally played in the April (2 matches) and October (2 matches) school holidays and take the form of (pennant-style) matchplay.
 
Players are selected for the squad based on performance in GST competitions (e.g., Southern Open) and other 18-hole events. Squad members are expected to attend after-school practices in the weeks before the matches. Squad members who are not chosen for a particular tie are expected to be available to caddy for another team member.
