"Multiple Winners"

From your Friends of the NFJG Foundation

It’s almost time to get the NFJG TOUR’s 2020-2021 Season started. The season opener will kick off on Sunday, October 18^th at one of our favorite courses, Eagle Harbor Golf Club. Now is the time to get registered for the TOUR. Register before October 1 and your name goes into a prize drawing pool. Who knows, you may be the lucky winner! You know what I always say, "You got to get in it to win it".

The season again will run from October to August with as many as 36 events and will be broken down into three Series (fall, spring and summer). Right now we have 29 confirmed events set in stone with some special events in the Fall Series. The “BILL STRAUB SR- ADULT-JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP” will highlight the series on November 1st when we’ll honor our heavenly Partner. Then, the NFJGTOUR’s Ryder Cup Team will travel down to Boynton Beach for the second half of the FLORIDA COAST JUNIOR CUP. Then it’s off to Howey in the Hill’s for a stay at MISSION INN RESORT to play two great courses. We'll end the series with the Holiday Par-3 Championship, but not before we battle it out in two very important majors at the World Golf Village King and Bear and Slammer and Squire. Each event at WGV will have two $500 scholarship opportunities for players 13-18 years of age and fully paid exemptions into other junior and higher level golf opportunities. Check out the schedule weekly for updates and check out the NFJGF PLAYER INCENTIVE PROGRAM before you schedule events elsewhere.

Our mission is to provide golf opportunity for our juniors at an affordable pricing while creating higher level golf opportunity for our members, but our goal is to retain on tour all our area best players and up and comers to result in the best junior tour outside the state tours in the nation. The larger and stronger our fields the more opportunity will be available for our local players. LET”S GROW OUR AREA GOLF TOUR TOGETHER!

HERE is a recent article written by Marianne McNee about our tour and the efforts of the Foundation.

Thanks for your support and we’ll see you on the links!

PHASE THREE - Back2Golf

Recently, Governor DeSantis announced Florida will be moving into full Phase 3 of reopening with no limitations on restaurants effective immediately. What does this mean for your golf operations? The Golf Industries Back2Golf Playbook aligns with Reopening Florida. Thus, we strongly urge you to review Phase 3 of Back2Golf as there are many restrictions lifted to help your operations return to the new normal. As a reminder, Back2Golf can be found on PGA.org (https://www.pga.org/coronavirus-resources/Back2Golf)

MEMBERS and GUESTS WELCOME

On November 1, 2020 we will honor a man

who has been a steadfast supporter of junior golf and more specifically Bill Straub was an dedicated supporter of the North Florida Junior Golf Foundation and Northern Chapter PGA. Bill was an avid supporter, not just because he was a past member of mine at Amelia National or because he was my Friend, but because he and his lovely wife Louise wanted to see juniors grow and have advantages they so much cherish. Bill Straub was an amazing man and his wife is as equally amazing! I hope you will be there at Amelia National to show your appreciation for their continued support. Thanks! You have no idea what this means to me.
