Fee Preference*

Please select the fee that best fits your financial situation. The actual value for each player is $220, including golf course access, instructional fees, administrative costs, and the $120 flat fee to the PGA of America for each player. The chapter raises funds from donors and sponsors to ensure we have funds to subsidize the registration fee for all players who need it, because we believe in the value of the experience, so thanks to their generosity we can all play!

Team sponsorship ensures that all qualified youth have the opportunity to play, regardless of their financial situation, and that each team has the resources they need for a great season!

What is PGA Jr. League Golf?

Each team is broken down into two-person pairs (or three if a substitute is included) who play together in games.
All PGA Jr. League games are played in a two-person scramble format. This means that both players in a pair hit drives. The best shot is selected, then each player plays from the selected spot, and this process continues until the ball is holed.‍
The scramble format is key in allowing everyone to hit shots and contribute to the team. PGA Jr. League utilizes match play scoring, which focuses on performance vs. a score-to-par as is traditional with golf.‍
Within a PGA Jr. League game, pairs play in a head-to-head, 9-hole match. Each match is broken into three flags. Each flag is three holes in a row, and each team has the opportunity to earn points at the end of each flag.

New and Notes:

We will host two leagues this year:
- 13U – for players age 9-13
- 17U – for players age 14-17
Team sponsorships are available for just $500. Do you know a company that would like to sponsor or co-sponsor a team? Those additional funds help support the team and those on scholarships. Company logos are embroidered on the jersey, and sponsor signs are presented at home games.

If you are interested in sponsoring a team, please note that in your pre-registration form above, or contact Evan Johnsen, Director of Programs and Development at [email protected].
