Additional PGA Junior League Golf facts:
Teams are comprised of 10-12 young golfers (boys and girls) who play 9-hole matches in a two-person scramble format, reinforcing the team concept and limiting the pressure on any one player.
No previous playing experience is required and players of varied skill levels fill out the teams.
Much like other recreational league sports, participants play in team uniforms with numbered jerseys.
The young golfers learn the game among their peers under the direction of PGA/LPGA Professionals (team captains). Parents play an active role, making the program a family activity to create another generation of players to enjoy the game.
Teams play regular season matches before convening for city and regional championships leading up to the national championship held Sept. 6-8 at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia.
