2014 Assessment Clinic - The Event will be held on May 3 at Raspberry Falls in Leesburg. All new players must be assessed in order to be placed in a Division. Returning players wishing to move up to a higher Division must also be assessed. Returning players wanting to remain in the same Division as they played in 2013 may skip the assessment. A description of each Division is posted on the Loudoun Junior Golf web page under “About LJGA”.
The schedule for assessments is based on the first letter of your last name and is as follows:
9:00 - 10:00 - A - C
10:00 - 11:00 - D - H
11:00 - 12:00 - I - M
12:00 - 1:00 - N - S
1:00 - 2:00 - T - Z
When you arrive at Raspberry Falls, go to the Driving Range and check in. Your assessment will then be conducted on a first come, first serve basis. An assessment typically takes about 20 minutes during which the kids hit drives, irons, putts, and chips. The shots are scored and totaled to determine what Division the Player is placed.
Assessment for the Masters Division will also be held on May 3 starting about 1:30pm. New players registered for Masters or returning players wishing to move into Masters must provide proof of an 18 handicap or better. Players unable to provide this documentation will play in a 9 hole qualifier in which they must shoot better than 50 in order to play in Masters.
