The Darwin Golf Club Junior Golf program is expertly put together by our resident golf professional, Nathan Campfield. Prior to joining the Darwin Golf Club Nathan successfully conducted the junior program at the Lakelands Country Club in Western Australia.

The DGC Junior Program is generously sponsored by Darwin Mitsubishi

The weekly coaching session is held from 8.30 to 9.30am each Saturday and is followed by a nine hole competition.

In addition to teaching the juniors how to play golf, the program puts strong emphasis on having fun and developing skills like sportsmanship, fairness, etiquette and leadership.

 The junior players are graded into three levels categorized by ability, etiquette, good character and leadership. A monthly skills test provides all juniors with a goal to reach in order to become a full playing junior member with an official handicap. Upon reaching this level (red) juniors will also receive a red golf bag.

The juniors will play for a Monthly Medal with an engraved mounted trophy up for grabs for the winners.

To accompany the monthly medals there are half yearly and annual competitions conducted with some great trophies and prizes for all competitors. 

Longstanding member Mr Jim Kuskey is an avid supporter of the DGC Junior Development Program. Every Saturday morning he is at the club to give the youngsters his encouragement and advice. No longer able to play golf himself, he enjoys seeing the juniors develop into skillful golfers.

New players are encouraged to attend the beginners coaching session, which is held at 3-4pm on Saturday afternoons at the cost of $5.00.

Becoming a junior member of the golf club is priced very cheaply at $55.00 per year. Juniors will receive a coloured tour card, golf shirt, cap and balls and tees.

Adult club members are be encouraged to adopt a junior to be mentor for, and to meet with them on a weekly basis to encourage and see that all juniors are made to feel welcome. A quarterly mentor and junior teams competition will take place.
