2021 HHGJT Season Update: Covid-19
The HHJGT Board continues to closely monitor developments related to the COVID-19 Pandemic locally, provincially, nationally and internationally. The safety and well-being of all our competitors, parents, volunteers, host club staff and members are of the utmost importance to the HHJGT Board. We are committed to keeping all stakeholders informed as we consider what impacts the pandemic may have on our ability to plan and operate as normal or at all during the 2021 golf season.
As customary, we are actively planning to offer a qualifying day and 7 event season as customary in 2021, including introducing a new U-15/bantam girls category. Currently, there is no recommendation or requirement to cancel or postpone the 2021 HHJGT season. With that being said, this is a fluid situation and we will be following the changing advice of federal, provincial, and local health officials and employing recommended strategies developed by partner and peer organizations (e.g.,Golf Ontario, Golf Canada, PGA of Canada, other local/regional and national junior tours) as well as respecting the wishes of our host courses as to how or whether our 2021 season can proceed.
Please continue to follow our website and social media accounts this winter and spring for updates on the 2021 HHJGT season. Thank you.
