| Junior series top priority for SportExcel golf circuit Posted: 17 Jan 2013 06:24 AM PST THE junior open series will remain as the flagship for the SportExcel golf circuit this season. SportExcel executive director C. Sivanandan said the Premier-Elite circuit for the country's emerging talents would not be part of their golf calendar this season. They will be opting for a monthly affair, hosting regular competitions for the juniors alongside their ongoing junior open competitions. "We have identified tentative dates for this season's competition calendar. "We will be discussing with the various clubs before finalising the exact venues," said Sivanandan, adding that the foundation's main aim was to provide opportunities for promising junior golfers to compete. They will also be reviewing the age-groups to be included in the circuit. The likely categories are Under-10, Under-12, Under-14 and Under-16 for boys and girls. "The executive board members of the executive board will also be meeting before endorsing several other suggestions to improve the competition structure. "We are deliberating on the inclusion of the Under-18 age-group. We will also address an important issue to increase participation by girls," Sivanandan said. They are planning to host 12 legs for the junior open circuit, including two legs in Sabah and one outing in Sarawak in November. The national junior match-play contests will wrap up the seventh leg scheduled in Selangor from Aug 10 to 12. And they will conclude the season with the grand finals and international meets from Dec 17 to 20. Meanwhile, five visiting golfers from India's Albatross Junior line-up stamped their mark in their debut outing; winning two titles at the previous SportExcel junior open international tournament. Pukhraj Singh and Yash Jindal were declared joint winners of the boys' Under-20 category while Piyush Sangwan emerged as the boys' Under-15 champion. Sivanandan said local talents will need to narrow the gap in matching their peers from the region, especially those in Thailand and the Philippines. "We are continuing with the three-day duration for the tournaments. We are considering to introduce a cut-off after the first two rounds. "It is important for our youngsters to strengthen their endurance to cope with the punishing pace in local and international competitions decided over three rounds," he added. Meanwhile, they are also encouraging local contenders to scale greater heights by taking on stiffer challenges in international outings including the TrueVisions International Juniors in Thailand, the Jakarta World Juniors and the Albatross International Juniors in India.
