After Saturday's event, the tour will move to Windsor Golf Hotel and Country Club on April 2.
The players undergoing training were given a free entry to the championship and access to the professional golfers.
“The professional golfers also came and talked to the juniors about their life stories and how they made it to the top. Some of our juniors are between 12 and 14 years and they have about five years to get there,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Junior Golf Foundation settled on the seven after whittling the list of the top 20 best junior golfers they had selected.
It was noted that from the list of 20, five junior players were unavailable for various reasons while 15 players went through three weeks of training.
The players were then required to play a qualifying tournament, the Muthaiga Open before the final squad was selected.
