Over three days at Blackheath Golf Course Starkey will take on some of the state's leading primary school players for the title.
Starkey is a junior playing member at the Bathurst Golf Club and is part of club professional Matt Barrett's junior academy at the local course.
Previous junior golfers from Holy Family School include ex-student Dylan Thompson also attended the school and furthered his career at the Montana Rocky Mountain College in the US.
"Cooper is a talented junior golfer who work really hard on their game, he has been highly motivated from the Polding Catholic Schools Trials which were held at Mudgee recently. We wish Cooper well at the State Golf at Blackheath," school principal Kevin Arrow said.
