“There are different divisions, namely the A and B division which comprises the better players. A is from zero up to nine handicap, B is 10 up to 18. C division is from 18 handicap and higher.
“In the D division the juniors do not have official handicap as they probably are not a member of a golf club yet. The aim is to get the D division to join a club, to get a handicap,”said Grobler.
