The Juniors

Team tournament, National Final U16A. September 29th

Næstved provided great weather and a great pitch for the end of the season for the boys' team, who in the national finals would meet the champions of Vest from Trehøje, who were also the defending Danish champions from 2023 – which their T-shirts bore the imprint of. Undeniably a tough opponent for the boys.

Juniors in KGK

The junior department at Copenhagen Golf Club consists of approximately 140 juniors.

When you are a new junior, there are many new things to learn. It may seem overwhelming at first, but there are many of us here at Copenhagen Golf Club who are ready to help you – and above all, playing golf should be fun. You are always welcome to ask us. No question is too small or “silly”. 

KGK has one of the largest junior divisions in the country. The juniors range from national team players to brand new golf talents and in a wide age range. It is a strength to be many and to have a wide range, but it also means that there are many levels. Fortunately, the handicap system means that golf can be played by everyone and against everyone – on largely equal terms. At KGK, we try to make it fun for all levels of junior players. Golf can be a difficult sport to start with compared to other sports. It sometimes requires a little patience. Handicap and course permits can seem difficult to obtain at first. It is our experience that with a little more effort at the beginning, it quickly becomes fun – especially if you find some good friends. We value good camaraderie across all ages and levels. 

 

The PGA coach

The club has two PGA-trained coaches: Klas Olsson & Carl Cedric are responsible for junior training.

CC can help you with everything about training times, various training teams, lessons, advice about equipment, learning the game and how to get on the big court.

Read more about junior training here.

Junior Committee

The Junior Committee can help you with all the information about all the different social activities we have during the year. They can also help you get an overview of which tournaments you can participate in.

See who is part of the committee here.

Golf equipment

You can easily borrow golf equipment at the beginning. Please let the coach know before training starts so he can prepare it. The Junior Committee, Coaches and Office can help you with which equipment will suit you best.

Social activities

Every year we organize Easter camp (time depends on the location of Easter - but typically the weekend after Easter), summer camp & autumn camp. These are some wonderful days where fun and socializing are the main focus.

Furthermore, throughout the season we organize our weekly Junior Thursday, where all juniors register in advance and show up on the day from approx. 3:30 p.m. We play on either the par-3 course or the large course depending on how far along you are in your golf development. We try to play a few different forms of play, but often a regular stableford, so that the handicap can be fine-tuned. Junior Thursday always ends with a joint prize presentation and dinner in the restaurant, if you wish. The family is very welcome to participate too. 

In winter there is extra indoor training for those who dare to stay in shape (for an extra fee). We like to meet on selected weekends for a bit of golf on our own course, and then go to the restaurant for a nice hot cocoa and a nice get-together. Or a trip to a golf simulator or mini golf. All to keep the friendships and golf going over the winter.

All registration for internal tournaments and camps etc. takes place via Golfbox - Club Tournament (MitGolf app). If you are in doubt about how Golfbox works, please contact the Junior Committee.

Dress code

There is no requirement that you play in expensive and fancy golf clothing. Here at Copenhagen Golf Club we play golf in polo shirts with collars (preferably the Junior KGK version) and long shorts when the weather permits. training.

It is always a good idea to have your own equipment for playing on the field.

What should my child bring to the field and to training?

It is very important that the juniors wear clothes that are suitable for the weather. It will make the experience much better as long as you have the right clothes. Better to have too much clothes than too little and preferably a pair of dry shoes and socks in the back room. Good golf shoes are the alpha and omega.

Rain gear should ALWAYS be in the back!

At Copenhagen Golf Club there are plenty of opportunities for training. All juniors are offered a weekly free training session through their membership. Duration and content depend on the age and how long the junior has been playing golf. Team schedules can be found further down.

We also encourage participation in DGU's team tournaments, external individual tournaments under DGU auspices and to train with “Team KGK” as a coach twice a week as well as indoor winter training. It is great fun to play with and against other juniors – and there are challenges at all levels; everyone can join in – and we have great sporting results behind us!

FAQs

Training

When is training?

Training takes place during the high season, from the Easter holidays until the summer holidays and again after the summer holidays until the autumn holidays. Your training day is determined when you register for training, where you can request training on a team that suits you. There are training teams almost every day of the week - the phrase Junior Thursday, where we train court games.

What do we do during training?

We train on the principles that the game of golf is based on and adapt the training teams and exercises to the players' needs. It can be station training, training on the par-3 course, recording on video - yes, there are many different ways to train. However, it should first and foremost be fun.

  2. hit the ball far
  3. hit the ball straight
  4. Track training
  5. Rules
When will I get a runway permit?

How to get a runway permit in KGK:

The journey towards course licensing begins on our par 3 course.

The game starts on our shorter par 3 course, where the tee spots are marked with colored markings in the ground. The holes are between 25 and 50 meters long. You start on the shortest/front tee. To move back to the longer tee, the player must complete the course in 50 strokes or less from the short tee on 10 holes.

After completing the shorter course, you must play the short-hole course twice from the longest (back) tee (10 holes in total) and achieve a score of under 50 strokes.

The game on the big field:
1. Start on tee 18 and play nine holes with an extra stroke per hole (a stroke over par gives 2 points). The goal is to achieve at least 15 Stableford points.
2. The next step is to play from tee 31 (for girls) or tee 37 (for boys). Here you get three extra strokes per hole (3 strokes over par gives 2 points) over nine holes and must achieve at least 15 Stableford points to be approved.

You can pass steps 1-3 at Junior Thursday or exceptionally on your own with a parent or adult who already has a course permit. This person must sign your scorecard. If you choose to play on your own, you must show the signed scorecard to the CC.

Rule test:

In addition to the game, you must also pass a rules test. The rules test is online and consists of a series of short questions about the rules of golf.
You can get a small rule book from the office or from the junior committee in connection with either training or the Thursday tournament, which can help you answer the questions. Proof of completed rules test is presented to CC.

You now have a "course permit" and are allowed to play all days and book tee times in Golfbox. Your playing handicap (SPH number of strokes on the course) depends on your gender and chosen tee location.

If you have any questions, please contact CC by email: kcc@kgkgolf.dk

Good luck on your journey towards a runway permit! ⛳

Junior Thursday

What happens on Junior Thursdays?

Here we take our training out onto the field.

Those who do not yet have a course permit play on the Par-3 course or the Forward tees, depending on how far they have reached in the “Road to Course Permit”.

After the game, we eat together in the restaurant and have an award ceremony.

When is Junior Thursday played?

The first players on the big court will start at 4:00 PM.

The first players on the Par-3 course will start at 5:00 PM.

Dining in the restaurant is from 7:00 PM.

Who can participate in Junior Thursdays?

All Junior and Young Senior members are welcome to participate in Junior Thursday.

Family members are welcome to join in the meal.

How much does it cost to participate in Junior Thursdays?

We are forced to charge a small fee for games and eating - but at a favorable price, because it should not be a limiting factor for anyone to participate. Every six months you can sign up for a "package", where you pay for all Junior Thursdays via Golfbox (the MitGolf app). We encourage you to sign up for the package solution to avoid cash on the day. It is still possible to come and pay for a single time. The participation fee is then 20 DKK and eating costs DKK 30. The price for bringing family members to eat is: Adults DKK 89 and children DKK 30.

How do I register for Junior Thursday?

Registration for Junior Thursday and all camps, tournaments, etc. always takes place via Golfbox (MitGolf app) – “club tournament”. If you are not familiar with Golfbox, please contact a member of the Junior Committee and we will guide you. The registration deadline is Tuesday at 12 noon.

Camps and tournaments

What Camps do we have and when?

Easter camp 2-3 days in connection with the Easter holidays

Summer camp Monday-Thursday first week of summer vacation

Autumn camp 2-3 days in connection with the Autumn holiday

What do we do at Camps?

At Camps we do a mix between training and games, and play both individually and in a team format - Texas Scramble or similar. At summer camp we go to Sweden for a day and/or play a course other than our own. The best putter during the week is also to be chosen, and this skilled player wins "The Golden Putter" - a prestigious walking trophy. These are long, but good days. In the autumn we like to combine camp with the puslinge club championship.

There is a big focus on having fun and enjoying the course with both new and old friends. There should be room for everyone.

How do I register for Camps?

You register via Golfbox (the MitGolf app). Keep an eye out for ongoing information from the Junior Committee via email.
