    course will hold a championship competition at or near the end of
    league play.



     



    � Junior Leagues, ages 11 to 17 years, are designed for
    intermediate skill players mature enough to handle 9 holes of
    regulation golf on their own. Young duffers play for seven weeks
    from June to August. Junior Leagues are at Shawnee Hills on Mondays
    and Tuesdays at 1 p.m., and at Little Met on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.

    set condition of having a handicap of 12 or less in 2010 Junior
    Leagues or approval from designated Cleveland Metroparks employees.
    Players play 9 holes per week for seven weeks. Advanced Leagues are
    on Mondays at 11 a.m. at Big Met, and noon at Shawnee Hills. Weekly
    greens fees are $9.50. The championship is 18 holes and is played
    in late July.



     



    Cadet League with Instruction



    A new program that will be held at Washington for 2011. Golfers,
    ages 8 to 13 with skills above entry level up to intermediate
    level, will spend an hour covering the swing and striking the ball,
    as well how to play the game. After instruction, children will play
    9 holes with supervision, utilizing a �shotgun start� format. 
    The fee is $99 per child for seven weeks and use of range balls,
    and green fees are included.  Hand carts are optional to rent
    and not included. All participants need to have their own set of
    clubs. Play begins Monday, June 13 and takes place from 7:45 to
    11:30 a.m.

    three-hole, entry-level leagues are designed to introduce new
    players to the on-course golf experience. Children play three
    complimentary holes per week for five weeks in June and July. Each
    foursome must have a parent or adult to walk along to supervise
    their children's safety and play. Pee Wee Leagues are at Mastick
    Woods on Thursday mornings, starting between 6:30 and 7:45 a.m. and
