Golf is more than a game!
It's a lifelong journey.

My experience with the Wisconsin Jr PGA has helped shape me in ways that go far beyond just golf. The program taught me the importance of integrity, hard work, and good sportsmanship, while also helping me build lasting friendships and be part of a great community. Competing at a high level pushed me to grow mentally and physically and helped prepare me to play Division I golf at the United States Naval Academy. The lessons I learned through the Wisconsin Jr PGA continue to help me in my athletic, professional, and personal life, and I’m grateful for the opportunities and support the program provided.

Playing in the Wisconsin Jr. PGA Tour events was a staple of my summers growing up and created many cherished memories. I had the opportunity to play incredible courses across the state while forming lasting friendships, learning valuable life skills, and growing not only as a golfer, but as a person. Golf is a mentally demanding sport, but the Jr. PGA staff are consistently supportive, make every event fun, and are always cheering you on. Competing in these events taught me respect for others, proper course etiquette, the importance of maintaining composure, and how to develop a passion for the game in a competitive environment. I know I grew tremendously in each of these areas, and these skills have truly helped me succeed at Notre Dame. By far the best part of Wisconsin Jr. golf, though, is the friendships you make along the way—many of which I still cherish today. While I miss playing in the events, I am forever grateful for the lessons I learned and the relationships I formed through the Wisconsin Jr. PGA

Playing tournaments with the Wisconsin Junior PGA has shaped me into the player and person that I am today. The Wisconsin Junior PGA gave me the chance to earn my scholarship at the University of Wisconsin. I learned many life lessons on and off the course that helped me develop throughout my collegiate career.

Not only did we play great golf courses against great players, I made many friends that will last a lifetime, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity the Wisconsin Junior PGA provided.

I played in my first Junior tournament when I was 8 years old, and continued to compete through the WJPGA until college. The Junior Foundation has fostered my love and appreciation for the game of golf and everything that comes with it. I’ve made so many meaningful friendships through the WPGA which I am so grateful for. The WJPGA has created an incredible atmosphere at its events, providing a competitive atmosphere that doesn’t diminish the welcoming nature of the game. Becoming a college athlete was always my goal, and without the hard work of everyone at the WPGA, I would not have had the success that I did. Whether you are just looking for a fun way to spend your summer, or looking to take your game to the next level, the Junior Foundation has something for everyone!

The staff are always friendly and capable, with the tournaments being well organized and effectively balancing competitiveness with fun. Through playing in WPGA tournaments for many years, I have made great friendships and played some of the very best golf courses in the state, all while deepening my love for golf along the way.

I also met a lot of friends that I still keep in touch with today; whether it’s at summer tournaments or even at college events around the country. The Wisconsin Jr PGA played a huge role in my development across all aspects of life, and I am excited to see how it continues to grow in the coming years.

Growing up as a member of the Wisconsin Jr PGA has allowed me to be the person and golfer that I am today. As a junior WPGA member, I learned the important life skills that coincide with the game of golf. These include emotional maturity, mental toughness, respect, and sportsmanship.

Every year since 2015 I have looked forward to playing in the Wisconsin Junior PGA events whether that was the par 3 tournaments or the Player Tour events. The Wisconsin Junior PGA has events for every level golfer all over the state. The par 3 tournaments are what I started with and those events made me realize my love for the game and how I wanted to continue playing and progressing. It was in these events I made some of my closest friends I have to this day. The Wisconsin Junior PGA foundation has allowed me to grow and develop not only as a golfer but as a person.
