Adam Scott Supports World Schools Golf Challenge

We are very pleased to welcome world top ten golfer, Adam Scott and the Adam Scott Foundation as ambassador and chosen charity to The World Schools Golf Challenge. The April 2012 event will be played on the great courses of the Mornington Peninsula, two of which are ranked in the top ten courses in Australia.

“The World Schools Golf Challenge is an exciting initiative and one that we are pleased to be involved" said Geoff Hall, General Manager of the Adam Scott Foundation. "The event caters for young golfers of all abilities and supports Adam's vision of encouraging people to play and enjoy the game at any age."

The funds raised via the challenge support the programs undertaken by the Adam Scott Foundation including Scholarship Programs and the popular Autism Grants Program designed to assist young people with ASD through iPads and apps to improve interaction, education and communication.

The World Schools Golf Challenge is a once in a life time experience for high school golfers, their coaches, teachers, families and supporters.

Schools are invited to send teams to international locations to experience the sporting, cultural and educational experiences that the selected destination and the tournament have to offer.

Team members must be pupils or immediate past pupils of their school. Age range is 13 to 19 years inclusive at the commencing date of the Tournament.

All players must have official handicaps from recognised golf associations. Handicaps will be checked and the organisers will have the right to amend handicaps where there appear to be discrepancies. A maximum handicap of 21 will apply for the competition.

"We believe the WSGC helps our players grow through sport. The players have been stretched by the competition and enjoyed the diversity of competitors...the reputation of golf at our School has been enhanced amongst competing schools. We see only benefits in our continued participation in this event."
