Juniors

Aims for the Junior Section

Our aim is to introduce juniors to golf in a stimulating and enjoyable way. Junior membership has no age restriction and we actively encourage inclusion of boys and girls from all of the community of Omagh and its surrounding areas.

We cover all the principle areas of golf including etiquette, putting, short game, long game and playing on the course.

The junior section is open to new members, all ages and standards are welcomed, from complete beginners to advanced players.

Junior Coaching and Competitions

For the juniors who want to improve and lower their handicap, coaching opportunities led by PGA Professional, Seamus Duffy, are available.

Thursday is ‘Junior’s Day’ at OGC. Commencing in the spring time and running to the end of August there are coaching sessions adapted to beginners, improvers and our elite Junior players, some of whom represent the club regionally and nationally.

Structured coaching is an excellent way of introducing Juniors to golf at OGC.

The junior section organises competitions during school holidays periods which contribute to selection of the prestigious ‘Junior Golfer of the Year’.
