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.

It’s hard to fathom that we’ve already knocked off 17 events from the 2021-2022 North Florida Junior Tour tournament schedule, but we have and there’s still 22 more events to go until seasons end.

I’m Proud to report over 325 junior tour events have been hosted in the last nine years at 36 of our area golf courses. Out of the 36 supporting courses, 28 courses host annual events in support of local junior golf doing their part to grow the game and give “our future” in golf the experience they need to mature. On behalf of the NFJGF Board of Directors and the entire NFJGTOUR staff we thank you for your outstanding support and commitment.

I am happy and honored to say that we work hand-in-hand with the Florida State Golf Association (FSGA), the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and Jacksonville Area Golf Association (JAGA). In addition, we work closely with the First Tee of North Florida and support USKids Golf and our Friends at the Moore-Myers Foundation making sure everyone gets a seat at the golf table. What’s even more important is we have such great support from our community partners. Recently joining us is the team of Joe Adeeb, Josh Martino and Craig Anderson from Bono’s Pit Bar B-Q. The team becomes the NFJG Foundation’s fifth “Foundation Partner” joining the all-star team of the Northern Chapter PGA, Capital Inventory Inc, Action Sports Jax, and B &C Financial Advisors”.

In the months from October-February we were also blessed with the friendship and sponsorship of the leading and international renowned Sports Psychologist Dr. Bob Winters. The “Confidence Doctor” presented four golf psychology seminars benefiting our kids on tour and their families plus the membership at four area golf clubs (Deerwood Country Club, Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, San Jose Country Club and Sawgrass Country Club) raising more than $7,000 for our Foundation special programing. Many thanks Dr. Bob and Head Professionals.

In February we were sponsored for by our Friends at Bing and Associates, PEAK LEVEL Performance, Dr. Dan Shellhasse, the North Florida PGA, B&C Financial and other private sponsorships and donations. We are grateful for all as this is what keeps this great organization going.

We’re on a little of a break right now as THE PLAYERS Championship rolls through, but after it’s all said and done the NFJGTOUR will be busy hosting events weekly until season end, including eight 2-day major events and hosting the 2022 Florida Coast Ryder Cup against the Gold Coast Golf Foundation.

Once again THANK YOU to all who have purchased tickets to THE PLAYERS Championship and supporting the NFJGF.

All the best and we’ll see you on the links.

In the “RUSSELL KNOX” Division 14 teams would finish under par and to claim this championship would take some outstanding play. In round two, tied at the top at seven under par the round one leaders would be paired together and what a show it was! Nineteen birdies would be recorded by the leaders in round two as the battle to hoist the team trophy raged on hole after hole.

You could not have asked for a better day for golf during the month of February. The weather was perfect hovering around 80 and the course at Deercreek Country Club was in fabulous condition. Eighty players comprising of 40 teams plus our tournament sponsor Adam Oerther from B and C Financial Advisors hit the course for a fun day of team competition in the "Scramble format with a "TWIST". Our overall Champions, capturing their second Adult-Junior title was Elite Tour Player Alexander Lymus and our very own Executive Director Jack Aschenbach. The team has placed four times in the Adult-Junior Series and has a combined score of -30 under par. The Runner-up's winning a six-way playoff shooting a score of -6 (65) was the team of Nate Bowman and Bea Mauricio. Third Place Gross went to Team Jace and Patrick Jenkins (65). Team Dylan and Kevin Saylor were the Net Champions with a great score of 67 nipping James and Jim Dugan (67) in a playoff. Third Net went to Jack and John Hardy who have cashed in at many of the events. It was a great day for golf and the "GEORGIA PEACH" Adult-Junior will be thrilling as well.

We hope you can join us. Sign up early and SAVE some $$$$$.

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.
