 Indiana South District Tournament Information

DISTRICT TOURNAMENT: This tournament annually draws a strong field of junior golfers in the State.  Indiana South District Optimists work hard to make this tournament a positive and valuable golfing experience for all participants.  Junior golfers just beginning to experience tournament golf,  more advanced players attempting to qualify for international competition, and tournament tested champions taking a step toward a college scholarship all have benefited from their participation in “Optimist Golf”.  We believe that all who participate are winners.  

The Indiana South District Optimist Junior Golf Tournament will be held  this year at Oak Tree Golf Club in  Plainfield, Indiana (all age groups), on  June 14, 2024.  The tournament entry fee will be $35.00 (Girls 10-12, Boys 10-11 & Boys 12-13), $50.00 (Girls 13-14 & Boys 14-15 or $70.00 (Girls 15-18 & Boys 16-18) per participant. 

The Tournament will  serve as a qualifier for the 2024 Optimist International Junior Golf Championships to be held at  Trump National Doral Resort and Spa on July  16-31, 2024.  The Indiana South District will provide all (16-18 boys & 15-18 girls), or a portion of, the International Tournament entry fees for District Tournament  age group winners who shoot a qualifying score. Other District Tournament participants who shoot a qualifying score may also qualify to enter the International Tournament.  


DISTRICT EVENTS:

18 Holes for Boys and Girls in ALL age groups.  (ALL age groups may only play 9 holes if necessary due to weather delays.)  Circle 10 rule will apply for speed of play. 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:     

Players who wish to play a practice round (not included in entry fee) may contact  Oak Tree Golf Club to schedule a tee   time.  For the best Junior Golf rate, mention that you are entered in the "Optimist" Tournament.   

PLAYER SPONSORSHIPS:

Many local Optimist Clubs will sponsor local junior golfers from their community by paying their entry fee.  If you live in a community with an Optimist Club, contact the local Club President, or any member of the Club, for more information.
