Thank You North Florida Junior Golf Foundation Partners and Sponsors.

Your dedicated support helps us provide higher level golf opportunities and helps us grow the game.

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is fast approaching and before you know it, we’ll be bringing in the New Year.

Our 2021/2022 season has started out in fine fashion with already six events completed since October 24^th when we opened the season at St. Johns County Golf Course. More than 230 juniors have already joined the tour this year setting another membership record. We believe, we will top 400 members by the end of the season.

During the “Fall Tournament Series” the Foundation hosted the “Billy Maxwell Memorial Golf Tournament” at Hyde Park Golf Club, the “King and Bear Open” at the World Golf Village, the first of 12 two-day events and we concluded two of the four golf psychology seminars with Dr. Bob Winters, with two more seminars yet to come.

Five events remain in the fall tournament season which includes the ‘Plantation Bay Open”, “Hall of Fame Invitational”, First Coast Junior Amateur (FCJA), Par-3 Championship and “The Yards”. It should be an exciting finish to the year. 

This season, we're hosting the “First Coast Junior Amateur” a couple weeks early, due to lack of course availability on January 2 and 3, 2022, as we had planned for. So, with that the event will be played twice in the same year, but although played in December 2021, the event will be labeled the 2022 FCJA. The HOF Invitational and the FCJA events are sponsored by The Law Firm of Pajcic & Pajcic along with the Karl G. Estes Foundation and both events are also supported by the Jacksonville Area Golf Association (JAGA).

Dr. Bob Winters has been spreading the good word about golf psychology and wowing golfers of all skill levels. On October 22^nd we hosted the opening seminar of four scheduled between October 2021 and February 2022 at Deerwood Country Club with a follow-on seminar at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club on November 22. Forty folks craving knowledge attended the opener, but double that attended a PVIC seminar. San Jose Country Club is the third Seminar on January 6, 2022, followed by a seminar at Sawgrass Country Club. I would expect over 100 people at each of these seminars. Sign up early!

NFJGF provides local junior golfers, ages 7-19, an opportunity to be a member of the organization which will allow them to play in competitive tournaments that are affordable, professional and are consistent with the USGA Rules of Golf and the Conditions of Competition. The tournaments and events provide an opportunity for junior golfers to build a solid foundation, gain tournament experience and compete among their peers for the love of the game. The experience will help prepare junior golfers, if they so desire, to compete in any State or National event. NFJGF will also promote, fund and manage a scholarship fund. NFJGF will strive to provide scholarships to junior golfers that have participated as a member, uphold the values of the organization and pursue a degree at an accredited college or university.

The values governing NFJGF will be to operate the organization and impact young people with integrity, honesty and fairness. We will promote the values of self esteem and pride in our events, with our members, among each other and the community. Our decisions will be made with an objective, fact-based thought process. We will work together to nurture independent thinking which fosters taking responsibility for your actions.

To motivate our younger generation into loving the sport of golf by providing and financially supporting the NFJGTOUR, the North Florida Middle School Golf Program for all schools including Clay, Duval, Nassau, St. Johns and other counties. In doing so we will prepare our junior golfers for competition in high school golf, college golf, higher level golf opportunities (state and national) and perhaps achieve the biggest dreams of all, the LPGA or PGA TOUR's.

Join us along our journey while we grow our future.
