What a Year It Has Been: A Letter from Your Director of Junior Golf

November 19, 2024 •

SPRING, TX (November 19, 2024) -  Hello STPGA Junior Golfers, Families, and Friends,


I want to start by personally thanking everyone that has welcomed me throughout the year in this role as your Director of Junior Golf. I am really enjoying Texas and cannot wait for 2025. With that said, I wanted to provide a few exciting updates.


STPGA Junior Golf is finishing 2024 with another record season and that is all due to your support! Our program does not exist without you, and we want to thank you for your support and participation in tournaments. No matter if you have just joined or have been a member for years, we hope you continue to enjoy the events, learn and develop skills, build relationships with your competitors, and love the game of golf.


Thank you to everyone that filled out our year-end survey. We received a lot of great feedback and will be using that to shape the future of this wonderful program. 


Our first big announcement for 2025 is that Junior Links will have 3 season ending Championships just like Little Linksters and Junior Tour. The Year End Championship has been happening since 2019 for Junior Links but we are excited to showcase this tour each season moving forward!

With that said, I am also excited to announce our three season ending Championships and their host facilities. All three programs will be at the same location.

As it relates to updates to our Rules and Regulations, these will be announced on January 7th, right before the Spring Season starts. I am hosting all of our Area Directors the first week of January to review all of our policies to ensure consistency across our different metro areas and ensure we are putting out the best product possible for everyone.


Thank you for an unforgettable 2024 season, and I look forward to finishing strong at the Fall Championship and then having an even better 2025!
