Jr PGA

PGA Junior League is a fun team-oriented program that provides a great opportunity to introduce kids to the game of golf. It is open to both boys and girls ages 13 and under of all skill levels from complete beginner to experienced tournament players.

Our regular season typically runs from April through July each year. Practices are held on Saturday mornings and the participants receive expert instruction from our staff at The Hank Johnson School of Golf. Regular season matches are held on weekday afternoons in June and July and consist of 9-hole matches between 2 teams using a scramble format.

The focus of all regular season activities is skill development and fun. The matches are recreational in nature and no emphasis is placed on winning and losing. The regular season concludes with our annual awards party where we recognize the following players:

• Rookie of the Year for each team
• Most Improved Player for each team
• 10 “All-Stars” also move on to represent Bent Brook in post season play.

During the post season the emphasis shifts from just fun and recreation to a more competitive atmosphere. Our All-Star team plays in the Alabama/Northwest Florida Section Champion- ship. The Section Champion moves on to the Regional Championship with a chance to advance to the National Championship.

Our All-Star players regularly make it to the semi-final round of match play. That said, our focus is not on winning or qualifying for tournaments. Rather, we strive to provide our kids with a safe environment for learning golf that emphasizes fun, sportsmanship and character development.
