PGA Jr. League
PGA Junior League is a program designed for children of all skill levels from ages 7-13. Junior league allows kids the opportunity to play tournament golf in a friendly, fun environment while still learning all that golf entails. It consists of 5, 9-hole scramble format, tournaments. In every 9-hole tournament, it is broken down into 3-hole matches called a flag. There are three flags per 9 holes available. This allows the younger kids, who might not be able to fully play 9 holes, to only play a flag, 3 holes, or two flags, 6 holes. The program is a seven-week program (June and July) that has one home tournament and four away tournaments against courses in the surrounding area. The cost of PGA Junior League is $250, which includes a jersey polo that allows the kids to customize a number on the back, a bag tag, golf balls and 5 sixty-minute clinic lessons under the supervision of a PGA golf professional.
