members in all 50 U.S. states and Canada. They provide access to nearly 2,000 courses across both the United States and Canada. High School seniors can also apply for college scholarships through YOC. Since the inception of the YOC Scholarship Program in 2008, they have awarded over $2.6 million to over 300 outstanding high school seniors to support their pursuit of higher education, many of which have become the first in their family to attend college. AJGA The American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) provides a venue for the top junior golfers to compete at the highest level against the top talent in the country. College golf coaches can follow each player’s progress and they ultimately recruit AJGA members for their golf teams. AJGA understands the expense and financial burden for a family to allow their child to travel and compete in AJGA events. For this reason and with the help of their generous sponsors, the AJGA’s ACE Grant provides financial assistance to young men and women who aspire to earn a college golf scholarship through competitive junior golf tournaments. Many of the professional golfers you see today on the PGA and LPGA Tours competed in and won AJGA events. It is the premier junior golf program in the country and has provided a venue for thousands of junior golfers to impress college coaches and earn a college scholarship. Local Junior Golf Programs Over the years junior golf programs have sprung up in every city and town across the country. Local golf professionals organize a series of clinics and tournaments for junior golfers looking to enjoy competition and learn more about the game. For more information about any junior golf programs in your area, touch base with your local golf club, or course for their schedule of events. PGA Jr. Golf League The PGA of America through their 40,000 golf teaching professionals organized the PGA Junior Golf League. They provide fun team competitions for young players under the age of 17. All PGA Jr. League games are played with a two-person scramble format, which allows all players to hit shots and contribute to the team.
