Coach Testimonials
Great chance to grow golfers and parents, and it has made me better too!
PGA Jr. League creates a healthy and fun golf environment for juniors of all skill levels. The team and scramble format is good onboard way to play without the individual pressures of playing solo competitive golf. The family then gets excited to play as a household. Play for life and have fun!
I love the team concept and the way the format encourages beginners. It also allows us to recruit kids and families in a way they are used to in youth sports--'think Little League meets Golf'
It is a great experience for kids to get onto the golf course. Additionally it is nice to see everyone cheering everyone on.
Golf is a lifetime sport and we want kids to enjoy the game. This is a great introduction for kids to start to fall in love with the game
As a PGA Coach and ADM Certified teacher-coach, this program is a MUST for all facilities. Too many juniors are sometimes intimidated to play golf by themself. So I think that PGA Jr. League fills the player gap from interested to play golf recreationally. Then they have the golf skill for life. Not to mention the friendships and relationships with other juniors that make it a community for that junior. Family members do not be come drop off parents. They become spectators or volunteer scorers...etc. Great job PGA of America!
I love the team aspect of it all. The kids really love being part of a team.
The format is very beginner friendly to the kids and this league tends to get families involved in the game. I have had some family memberships result from their children playing on PGA Jr. League teams.
There are 3 very good points. 1. It promotes playing golf. Yes there is instruction but unlike most Junior Programs it gets the kids playing golf versus just standing on the practice tee hitting balls. 2. It promotes teamwork, helping the kids learn how to work with others versus just on their own which is an important life skill. 3. It helps the kids develop better life skills such as communication, teamwork, social skills, being on time, making friends etc.
The interaction of the junior golfers with each other.
I like all of what it offers the Kids and helps them to enjoy the game of Golf
I love the team atmosphere that it provides for juniors in an otherwise individual sport. Working together, dealing with adversity, celebrating success as a team - it is all encompassed with PGA Jr League!
Fun for the kids and good format other than the new all star selection stunk
It is the perfect way to introduce competetive golf without the pressure of playing on one's own.
Player friendly format

Brings kids to the game
Everything! Team culture and family involvement are priceless.
A very good entry level opportunity for beginners . Also advanced players can
mentor beginners . We have seen children become more outgoing and gain
self confidence as their golf abilities improve .
Awesome to witness , whiffs to grounders to air !!
The experience with the children and their parents (usually !) is fantastic, the additional revenue is great, and I truly notice that perhaps the biggest effect of all is on me !
Two person team scramble format.
It makes golf fun and low stress for beginners. The team aspect and the fact they meet other kids in their age group who also play golf is a great thing. I have also noticed parents and siblings taking an interest after their child gets into it a little. I really wish this program was around when I was a kid.
It is a great way to introduce competition to beginner and intermediate golfers.
Gets kids started in Golf
The structured aspect of the events
Parent involvement, team play, FUN
It gets juniors into competition who likely wouldn't be under other formats
Great Team atmosphere, teaches not only golf, but playing golf. Also help to build honesty, character and the social aspects of life.
Kids love the team and social aspect!
The combination of learning and playing plus competition.
The 2-person scramble is perfect.
Very rewarding to see the progress throughout the season. Great way to grow the game
