Due to the fact that Golf is a non-contact sport, the PAL has waived the rule regarding 5th grade participation. Typically, Varsity sports in the PAL exclude 5th graders from particiapation. For PAL Golf (and only Golf) fifth (5th) graders are allowed to participate in all matches, including the league championship.
