The program seemed to be very organized. This was our second season and we plan to be involved next summer.
Team atmosphere
It is a great way to introduce kids to golf and give them the experience of playing various courses.
They do skills.
Practice holes and gets the feel of the game.
Small groups, so they get a lot of attention.
Fun and learning sport of golf.
The positive atmosphere at all times during instruction, practice and play.
It was a great experience. My son loved and improved greatly! The fact that they actually get to play is great!
Everything, except the pace of play. My son is ten and typically tees off from 5:20-5:50. The last two weeks we’ve been walking out of there at 9 on a Sunday with school the following day. Last week at Turnberry on number six I believe, a par 3, had a foursome on the green and then the beginning of our age group with three diff groups on that hole waiting for them. So pace if play is my only concern. Other than that it’s been a pleasure for my son to play in. Thanks for all you do!!
It was very well organized and a lot of fun for the kids. They felt like they were a pro.
Nothing like it out there. Kids like it and it encouraging for them.
The program is a great way to get the youngsters into a dying game. The youth are the future of the game. Both of my children, Alex - 14 and First name removed - 9, have and are playing the game.
Everything. Our coach is awesome and the course we play at treats the kids on our team wonderfully. It is like a home away from home for the kids, and I have no doubt that they will have many favorite memories from their years in the program.
One recommendation would be adjusting the participation rule to require that all players present play 2 flags (rather than the current requirement of 1 flag) provided there are 12 or fewer players present. This would be more in line with the point of emphasis of the program of participation over competition.
The only other item I would consider would be limiting team sizes to 12 players, as it is difficult to coordinate pairings for 4 games with more than 12 players present. However, I am torn on this as it potentially limits the # of kids given the chance to participate.
It's a low-pressure, team-oriented environment in which children can learn to play golf - a sport that can otherwise be difficult to take up.
flexibility
Allowing kids to play at a tournament level teaches a lot of responsibility, teamwork, etiquette, help to develop social skills, and makes them mature at a nice level but
are still able to be kids.
It taught my son how to play the game and also the etiquette and good sportsmanship involved in the sport
The chance for players of any ability to participate.
The structure and format of the league are a great way to help the kids improve without getting overly competitive or losing focus on what’s really important - a love for the game and having fun.
Kids learn the game of golf in a competitive environment with a partner in a scrambles format. This set up decreases the pressure on the individual while developing strategy as to which ball should be played.
The group support and team atmosphere. All the coaches and players were very encouraging and helped my son find a love for the sport

Coaching my daughter received was excellent. The knowledge and patience displayed by the coaches really impressed me. My daughter learned alot and enjoyed the courses.
I can't say enough about the PGA Jr. league. Coach Jim Beers does an excellent job of leading the team. He makes golf fun! He is so supportive of the children. Being a part of this league has been such a positive experience for my child.
The life lessons it teaches. Keeps it fun for the kids. Love the team aspect of it
