PGA Jr. League is a developmental program bringing kids together through fun, team golf experiences. Players compete in a two-person scramble format with other local teams. There are home and away matches.

PGA Jr. League is open to both boys and girls, 17 and under, of all skill levels and abilities. Tallwood’s 13U Team is designed for children age 9-13. Tallwood’s 17U Team is designed for children 14 years old to no older than 17 years old on or before July 31, 2021.

Tallwood’s 2021 PGA Jr. League membership fee is $375. This fee includes 10 practice sessions to develop full swing and short game fundamentals, mental skills (focus, self-confidence, goal setting, teamwork), golf fitness, course management skills, as well as, golf rules and etiquette. Additionally, there will be 4-6 league matches each season.

Players will receive two high-quality custom jerseys: one blue and one orange (home and away), PGA Jr. League ball cap, PGA Jr. League t-shirt, bag tag, draw string bag, as well as additional programming items.

PGA Jr League Guidelines for Practice

Golf is a sport we can enjoy while social distancing outside. As your coach, my #1 priority is to provide a safe environment to play golf. To achieve this goal and provide a fun summer activity, I will need the support of all players and parents on the following:

• If a player or immediate family member is not feeling well, please stay home. Know the coaching staff will do the same.
• No physical contact of any kind with teammates (including handshakes and high fives). As a team we will come up with a creative alternative to demonstrate good sportsmanship.
• No touching the equipment of your teammates including bags, clubs, balls, and tees.
• Please bring a water bottle from home to all practices and matches.
• At least one parent/guardian must remain on premise in the event we have inclement weather and must end practice or play early. My intention is to keep all activities outdoors only.

With these considerations, I have high expectations that each member of my team will set and achieve at least one individual goal this summer and have fun in the process. As a parent myself, I know how important it is currently for kids to safely connect with their peers and have some fun. Practice sessions will include opportunities for both skill development and fun. Many of my practice objectives are best achieved through game like training. Players are in a more ideal mental, physical, and emotional state to learn when they are having fun. And, game like training provides optimum transfer of learning to the golf course.

If you have any questions or feedback, I can be reached on my cell at (860)334-2080 or by email at Nicole.lpga@gmail.com. I encourage all families to download the PGA Jr League app, as I will use this app to communicate with all my families. Know I am looking forward to a great PGA Jr League season!
