The first event took place at East Clare GC with a total of 37 young hopefuls from Ulster and Munster, with the youngest, Luke Carey (East Clare) and Sam Rutledge (Newtownstewart), both aged 6, playing nine holes from the 100m tee markers.

Next, the JGTI moves to Fernhill Golf and Country Club in Carrigaline in Cork on Saturday, June 1. There will be provincial finals and a national decider at the end of August at Hollystown Golf Club.
