PGA Junior League Golf (PGA JLG) is a fun, social and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls, ages 9-17, to learn and enjoy the game of golf. Like many other recreational youth sports, participants wear numbered jerseys and play on teams with friends. PGA JLG features team vs. team competitions in structured leagues that provide a popular, less stressful scramble format as opposed to stroke-play competition. Uniforms and extra golf goodies are included with the registration fee. Visit pgajrleague.com to register.
