SCHOOL GOLF LEAGUE

ROMITBOSEGOLF announces its largest School Golf League Event Nationwide starting August 2017 with the intention to promote and popularise golf amongst schools which will catalyse interest and growth within the school system and boost participation in golf at the grassroots level.

The need to popularise the sport at the junior level has always been our focus at RBG and this would definitely bridge the gap between junior golfers and their schools and also make the schools more aware of the phenomenal talent that they have within their schools in golf. This we believe will help promote the game to be taken up within the schools and help in the the growth of in-school golf learning centres.

Now in 2017 we are launching yet another development initiative....this time to create more camaraderie between players and help inculcate character traits which promote successful teamwork by helping each other.

APPROVED SCHOOL TEAM:
All school teams will have to be approved by a stamped entry form from their schools along with a soft copy of their school logo which will be used on T-shirt jerseys and collaterals.

Individual Entry: Schools who only have 1 player may team up with another school and compete in the OPEN TEAM - INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY - this has been done to facilitate participation from schools who don't have more than a player but want to be part of the league. You may send us an individual entry and we will make our best effort to make your team. If not the participant will play as an individual.

The participating schools' principal / sports head will be sent an invitation to attend the event and be part of the prize distribution head table. Would be great to have a school representative at our challenges.
