PGA Junior Golf

In the first half of this year 30,000 boys and girls under the age of 13 took part in PGA Junior League Golf teams, across the country. On the Westside and in the San Gabriel Valley, more than t10 facilities hosted the kids’ teams.
Among those participating on the Westside were the Brentwood Country Club, the Bel-Air Country Club and the Hillcrest Country Club.
PGA Junior League Golf helps kids learn and enjoy golf under the direction of PGA and LPGA Professionals who serve as team captains. Kids wear numbered jerseys and play on teams with their friends. The program has also gained the support of several PGA and LPGA Tour players, including Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie, Rickie Fowler and Lexi Thompson, who are Official Ambassadors for PGA Junior League Golf.
“Golf is a great sport for parents to consider for their kids, and PGA Junior League Golf brings a fun, team concept to a game that can be played for a lifetime,” said Scott Kmiec, senior director, PGA REACH. “Through PGA Junior League Golf, PGA and LPGA Professionals are providing golf instruction to boys and girls along with teaching them the character skills and values of the game that they can carry into their adult lives.”
