Georgia Section
PGA Junior League Golf continues to grow in the Georgia Section. In 2015 over 100 teams
participated across the State!
PGA Junior League Golf (PGA JLG) is designed to better socialize the game for Boys and Girls, 13
and under. PGA JLG features a team vs. team format in structured leagues that provide a popular,
less stressful scramble format, as opposed to medal-play competition. This is a great way to get kids
involved in the game!
The PGA Junior League unites kids in
friendships through golf and brings families to
the course. In three years, we have gone from 10
kids to 5 separate teams. The kids enjoy working
together during the matches and parents love
the laid back atmosphere of the tournaments.
PGA Junior League golf does a remarkable job
of growing this great game.

I believe that every facility should be involved
with the PGA Junior League. Our Junior
League team started with12 kids in 2013 and
has grown to 36 team members in 2015!! PGA
Junior League is the heartbeat for our junior
program.
