The Encourage Shield is a handicap matchplay competition designed for players who are just under the standard of junior pennants and is administered by Jack Newton Junior Golf.

In 2009 60 teams participated in the metropolitan Encourage Shield with the final being contested between the Dunheved GC and the Hurstville GC. The Dunheved GC were victorious in 2009 by 3 1/2 to 1 1/2 matches. Both teams will move on to the inaugural state final and compete against Gungahlin Lakes (ACT) and the Toukley GC (Central Coast in January 2010).
 
In the girls encourage shield 10 teams contested the title with the Cumberland GC defeating the Castle Hill CC in the final.
