Patrick Reed, pro-golfer from Texas, and his foundation Team Reed Foundation, detail the importance of getting youth involved in golf and which youth tournaments are best to be a part of.
2. It’s no secret that
practice makes perfect.
It takes a lot of hard work and consistent effort
to become truly great at something, let alone
the things you do everyday without even
thinking. Just as it took time to learn how to
walk and talk, it takes a lot of practice and
determination to become an expert athlete.
3. Programs that encourage kids
to practice are important.
Learning from experience, it’s very important to
have a solid foundation as a Junior golfer. It’s
one of the key goals in establishing our group,
The Team Reed Foundation. We strive to give
our community inspiration.
4. A glimpse into beginning
careers and the future of Golf.
This summer, Team Reed was involved in a
Junior golf tournament that gave young athletes
a place to grow their skills, and while giving
these golfers a chance to thrive and learn was
amazing, what they gave the golf community in
return was even more special.
5. Practice, support, and
confidence are key
components to a strong game.
They don’t come overnight, and, with the help of
partners throughout the entire sport of Golf,
there are great places to secure these attributes
all over the country for any of the young
hopefuls out there.
6. And who are now ready
to master how to be a
champion.
Below are just a few of the top Junior Golf
tournaments out there for those who have grown
from mastering how to walk and how to talk.
7. PGA Junior League Golf
This popular program began in 2011 and has
grown to touch the lives of nearly 40,000
participants within their league and tournaments.
Similar to other professionally sponsored
programs, the PGAJLG works in teams that are
headed by PGA professionals. The league is
exclusive to youth players aged 13 and under.
8. US Kids Golf Foundation
In this organization, all roads lead to Pinehurst, where
The World Championship is held for golfers, ages 5-
12. There are plenty of tournaments along the way,
and golfers are encouraged to attend as many as
they wish. While several lucky golfers will have the
distinguished honor of being a World Champion, the
league also awards recognition for male and female
Player of the Year.
9. American Junior Golf
Association
This non profit organization is geared toward more
established golfers who are pursuing possible scholarships
and competitive play. Patrick Reed was represented at
this year’s AJGA Tournament at The Woodlands in
Texas. Along with a fun and competitive tournament, the
AJGA also educates members on what it takes to play
college golf and how to make it big in the pros.
10. It’s time to get out
there and play!
Encourage your kids to enter a junior league and
watch the next generation of golf grow. Team Reed
is always thrilled to be a part of molding young
minds and supporting them in their journey to
professional golf, and we’re happy to be able to
share our work with all of you.
