WELCOME TO BRIDGE THE GAP - High School Golf

 

BRIDGE THE GAP Golf is a Golf Tournament series that brings “A NEXT LEVEL” in the HIGHSCHOOL golf arena in South-Africa. It gives ALL passionate high school golfers an opportunity to play a competitive golf tournament as an amateur in a professional setup and environment. Bridge the Gap, being growth conscious, is serious about the development and educational aspects of our golfers, being invested in it as well as investing in them on their pursuit to a professional career as a Bridge the Gap member.

Our first tournament on the 16 October 2022 at Wingate Park Golf Club, will be a FIRST EVER for SOUTH AFRICA in any High school golfing event ever.


Why is it a FIRST EVER and what separates it from any other High school junior amateur golfing event?

It will be the First ever High school amateur golfing event that will be playing for a PRIZE PURSE PAY-OUT, and that OF R50 000 guarantee for this first event. Never has this been possible, but NOW is because of the rules of golf that change from where no amateur was allowed to earn cash money, to where amateur golfers can now earn up to R15 000 cash money as a first prize in a scratch competition, as given by the R&A and USGA, GoIfRSA, as the Governing National Body, changed from 1 January 2022. 


With that said, this event will make history, and are we so excited to host this first of many Bridge the Gap High school golf tournaments, bringing the next level of competitive golf, and creating this environment in the high school amateur golf arena.
