September 30, 2022 •Southern Texas PGA

Hello STPGA Families!


We want to announce this new, and unique opportunity for our STPGA Junior Golf Members.


On Wednesday, October 26, the STPGA will be hosting a preview event at the new East River 9 Golf Course in Houston, Texas. This is a brand-new course that offers a lighted 9-hole par 3 course and a full driving range. The first tee shot is hit directly at the City Skyline and the course is played along the Bayou. This will be the first time any player has EVER played the course. In partnership with East River 9, they wanted to make sure the first golf shot was hit by the future of the game and the STPGA is honored to be picked to partner with them! 


We have a limited number of spots (36) available and all ages (6-18) are welcome to sign-up! The fee is $30 and the sign-up will open on Tuesday, October 4 at 9 a.m. and like all events are first come first serve.

This event is all about having fun and we cannot wait to preview this awesome facility. One of the most unique parts about this event is that ALL 36 juniors that sign up will be entered into a drawing where the first name pulled will hit the first shot ever on Hole #1 at 3:15 p.m. Registration opens at 2:30 p.m. with a shotgun at 3:30 p.m. All players will receive a nice gift from the STPGA at arrival. No official scoring will take place and there are no points awarded to any Points List. Parents and spectators are welcome to walk the course with their players for the 9-hole round. Spectator carts will not be available. Food and beverage will be available for purchase prior to, during, and after the round of golf.
