The manager says they are a disc golfer and although it is an older, worn in spot they say they keep it clean and it's right on the water! They say it opened up under new ownership / management earlier this year.

Determining PDGA Playing Age:
A player's official PDGA Age is based on their year of birth, NOT their birthday. So whatever age they will be on their birthday during the calendar tour year is their PDGA age for that entire calendar tour year and determines their eligibility for age-based divisions.
Example:
If a 10 year old player will turn 11 at anytime during the calendar year, their PDGA age is 11 for that entire calendar year so they must play in a Junior ≤12 division (or higher).
So they could do MJ12, MJ15, MJ18.
They cannot do MJ06, MJ08, MJ10.
The 'M' means mixed, so any gender can sign up.
There are also the female divisions if one chooses those (e.g. FJ10).
As per PDGA rules anyone younger than 13 years must be chaperoned by an adult (PDGA Competition Manual...1.13 Youth Safety, Sec B.).
Although a two round tournament, in line with PDGA policy, participants age 10 or under can choose to play one round (PDGA Competition Manual...1.13 Youth Safety, Sec E.). HOWEVER, let us know ASAP if that is your preference (email: [email redacted]). As much as possible please try to complete at least one full 18 hole round, preferably round 1.

+ Most Improved Player Award +
2023 Most Improved player award went to James Gullacher! Congrats!
This award goes to the player showing the biggest percent improvement from the last year 2023 AB JR Championship scores. Basically, with some spreadsheet help, we turn the 2023 scores into a percentage grade (compared to par) and do the same on tournament day for 2024. The youth with the biggest gain when comparing the two will be the winner -- and they should, as they improved the most! Must have played all two rounds in 2023 and must play all two rounds in 2024.
+ 2023 AB JR Points Champion +
2022 Points Champion was Duncan Markie!
With 2023 all wrapped up, we will honor the 2023 Alberta JR PDGA points champion. The PDGA assigns points when playing in sanctioned events and they build up throughout the season. A high number of points means the person has played a lot of tournaments, played in more difficult tournaments, played in higher divisions or a combination.
The 2023 Points Champion is __________.

Will there be any changes to holes to “juniorize” the course at all? Or just play the normal layout?
MJ10, MJ12 and and FJ18 will play from the short tees, some of which may be made shorter. We will take a look when we get there.
