Order Of Merit

The Spirit of Competition

The Pure Motion Golf Academy Junior Order of Merit (OOM) competition was launched in 2012 at Durbanville Golf Club for juniors aged 6 – 18.

Played over 9 holes, the competition has proved to be extremely popular and valuable to the development of all juniors. It provides additional opportunities to play on the course and to accustom playing in a competitive environment.

In June 2022, we added the Kickstarter course option for juniors who find the standard course too long. The numbers taking part grew rapidly and the improvement shown by players in less than six months was significant.

QUICK OVERVIEW

  • For all course ready junior golfers (boys and girls) nationwide!
  • Players do not have to be a member of any golf club nor have an official handicap
  • There are 2 course length options (Standard and Kickstarter)
  • Results are posted on the website weekly on this page and are also shared on our social media accounts, so be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
  • There are 28 rounds scheduled for 2023 (an average of 7 rounds per term). This provides ample opportunity to ensure those wanting to be in the running for prizes can book the 12 minimum required rounds. Read more about the prizes here and view the gallery below.

OOM is run by our experienced and dedicated coaching team who pride themselves in sharing juniors’ achievements and love of the game.

COURSE READY DEFINITION

“Course ready” means that the child:

  • understands the aim of the game of golf and knows the basic etiquette
  • is able to make contact with the ball when making a swing,
  • is able to take a maximum of 4 putts on a green
  • knows basic chipping skills
  • understands where to stand while other golfers are hitting their shot
  • knows not to run ahead of play
  • understands the warning FORE and knows what to do when the warning is heard and when to use it too
  • understands the etiquette when on the green (no running, swing clubs, and taking divots as well as marking his/her ball)
  • understands where to tee from within the boundaries of the tee markers

If in doubt, please ask one of our coaches to assess your child for ‘course readiness’. If the junior’s coach is not a PMGA coach, please have them complete the assessment form here.

DIVISION ALLOCATIONS, HANDICAP and FORMAT:
Gender, Age on 1 Jan 2023 and Handicap Index (HI) as at the date of the first OOM appearance will determine the Division in which you play.

Boys:

Age 13 and over with a HI of 13.7 and below = Division 1 Medal
Age 13 and over with a HI of 13.8 and above = Division 2 Stableford
Age 12 and under with a HI of 13.9 and below = Division 1 Medal

All ages with a HI of 14.3 and above = Division 2 Stableford

Anyone without a HI = Division 2 Stableford

Playing Handicap for the day will be determined by their current Handicap Index. Those with no official handicap will initially be allocated a Handicap Index of 36.0. Read more about tee allocation and HI changes here.

SCORING & STATISTICS:
All players are required to keep a scorecard and mark their playing partner’s card.
Scorecards must be handed in at the Scoring Table before leaving the event.
For both divisions, players record putts taken on the green.

SPECIAL NOTES:

PMGA iCon White

Kickstarter

IDEAL FOR:
The course is adapted to an appropriate, shorter length encouraging beginner juniors to put into practice what they are learning in their lessons.

As they become more competent and confident, they will progress to getting an official Handicap Index and playing the OOM Standard course.

COURSE PLAY:
9 holes to be played off specified tees on a shortened course

HANDICAP:
No official HI

SCORING FORMAT:
All players are required to keep a scorecard and mark their playing partner’s card. Scorecards must be handed in at the Scoring Table before leaving the event.
All shots taken are counted to make up a Gross score each hole. There is a maximum of 7 shots to be recorded on each hole. Once a player has taken 6 shots, but not holed the ball, the player must pick up their ball, record the score as 7 and move to the next tee. They must not place a ring on the 7.

SPECIAL NOTES:
Players 6 – 10 years old must be accompanied by a parent/adult. Accompanying adults may need to help the players keep score.

RULES & TERMS:

My Journey with Pure Motion Golf 

by Jordan Rothman  –  Full Scholarship from Kansas University USA

From Junior lessons to Order of Merit to winning tournaments and ending up in the USA!

 

 I started playing golf when I was 11 years old. My dad saw potential in me so he took a video of my swing and showed it to Coach Lana. She saw I had talent and told my dad that I should start with lessons as soon as possible. That is really when my whole life changed because that is when I found my passion.

I improved a lot in a short amount of time which pushed me to work harder because I loved the idea of getting better every day, seeing myself hit a little bit further or a little bit straighter. I started playing in the Order of Merit Tuesday competitions which introduced me to competitive golf on a small scale. It was a great way to get into a competitive mindset without feeling overwhelmed.

Over the years I achieved many things in South Africa and won a couple of big golf tournaments too. When I was 15, I won the SA women’s match play and that’s when doors opened for me, I started getting messages and emails from universities in America asking me to play for and study with them. None of this would ever have been possible without Coach Lana helping me and guiding me to success.

When I started, I fell in love with the game and what helped me a lot was having friends at the golf course who had the same passion and goals as me. Practicing alone can sometimes be a little harder which is why it is always good to have people around you to practice with and to have people who are always pushing you to play your best. Pure Motion became my second home because I was there pretty much every day. I made friends that will always be a part of my life.

Today after a long journey of ups and downs I made it to America where I am representing the University of Kansas on the golf course and getting a degree in Sports Management. I am still getting coached by Coach Lana even on the other side of the world and I am still in contact with most of my friends that I played with when I started.
