The USJGT wants to extend a special thank you to Trent Scull and Robert W. Baird Co. for their support of the
USJGT Tour Championship.
United states Junior Golf Tour
mESSAgE fROm THE STAffWelcome to the 2013-14 season, the USJGT’s 13th season of providing quality junior golf events at affordable prices. September 15 will mark our official anniversary. It was on that date in 2001 when Clint Borm hit the first tee shot of our first event, held at Kirkwood National in Holly Springs, Mississippi.
We’ve had the opportunity to work with many juniors and parents over the years and the success stories of those players are many. Often we tend to focus on those that are successful on the course beyond high school and those players certainly deserve recognition for their hard work, perseverance and success. However, there are many successful USJGT alums off the course as well.
We have alumni in medical school, law school, graduate school and many are now successful in a variety of businesses and other ventures including teaching. The one constant in all of them though is the friendships they made playing in USJGT events.
That goes for parents as well as players. We run into alums in a variety of places, some of whom stop by one of our events to watch and reminisce. And the interesting thing in our conversations with them is how many of them still play golf with people they first met when playing a USJGT event. So, as you participate in the 2013-14 season, take time to get to know those with whom you compete.
Competition, by its very nature, produces winners in each event. And those who don’t win tend to get frustrated or concerned or down on themselves. Competition breeds mental toughness and a desire to get better and requires a strong work ethic to accomplish that goal. But in the process of competing, don’t lose sight of the best part of this game. It is the only sport where you spend more time talking and walking with your fellow competitors than you do actually executing a shot. You don’t do that in football, basketball, baseball, tennis – the list of sports goes on and on.
That gives you ample time to develop friendships that will indeed last a lifetime. We look forward to you playing with the United States Junior Golf Tour this year and getting to know you not just as golfers and parents, but as people.
Let’s tee it up and, as always, if we can be of assistance please let us know.
