THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
What a great season under trying times
|
|
Well, here we are again, at the end of another great season of junior tournament golf.
First and foremost, I want to thank all our parents, grandparents, family members, relatives and friends for your outstanding and unwavering support in growing the game of golf for our juniors. TOGETHER we made it what it is and we continue to get better and bigger each year. We know it’s not always easy to sit on the sidelines and watch your kids grow as they navigate their way down the fairways and climb up the junior golf ranks. Our kids learn a great deal about rules, decision making and integrity along the way and they learn fast. Many times they learn through making mistakes and stumbling with poor golf judgement and that’s OK. I commend you for being the “MENTOR” we require in golf. “WELL DONE” to you all.
The Awards Banquet is complete and all the deserving awards was presented to the rightful owner. Congratulations to all our award recipients! It was a great evening at TPC Sawgrass and if you missed us this year, put it on the radar for next year.
The 3-series season highlighted with 38 events went by fast, but the best part is, we get to do it all over again, year after year. What makes this possible is all the GREAT SUPPORT we receive from our area PGA Golf Professionals of the Northern Chapter PGA and the membership within their clubs. We have the best Pros in the business and everyone who cares and understands the top priority is to “GROW THE GAME” for our future generation. Creating these memorable moments energizes everyone to continue playing the game throughout their lifetime. We are so blessed!

In just a weeks’ time, one junior golfer from NFJGF will get the opportunity to tee it up on
THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in the prestigious Junior PLAYERS Championship. Jacksonville’s Moses Compaan earned the spot in the elite field after defeating 119 local junior golfers in a series of tournaments conducted by NFJGF over the last year, culminating with a 12-player shootout for the single spot.
