The Journey from
Junior Golf to College to The Masters
Help make it happen for your Junior Golfer!
Getting to the Masters Tournament is a high ambition to
instill in your child, but with plenty of hard work, practice and support from
you, nothing is out of reach!
Teach your junior golfer about being trustworthy and
responsible, even when they may struggle on the course. "No carding"
is a big deal, and you don't want a note like that placed on your junior
golfer's tournament record. Teach your child to stick with the sport and not to
quit even when it's tough, and most importantly, to always turn in a scorecard
even when they aren't satisfied with how they did.
When your junior golfer starts high school, academics and
earning a college scholarship to play golf is top priorities. Make sure your
high schooler stays on track, but don't be too overbearing. Your golfer will
need to learn to work on their own for college, and recruiters know how to spot
players with parents who are too overly involved. Brush up on our college scholarship tips for more
ways to help your junior golfer further their golf career!
Take your junior golfer on a trip to the Masters
Tournament. There's nothing better than seeing the biggest names in golf in
action! Also, the junior golfer should learn to play on different golf courses,
check out here for some of the many golf courses in
Wisconsin.
Encourage your young golfers to engage in conversation
with their competitors, and form friendships at tournaments. Sportsmanship is
especially important for the pros. Every year the past Masters Champions get
together at the Masters Champions Dinner – a great example of building
camaraderie during a competition. Each year at the Masters, the previous year's
winner has the honor of choosing this year's dinner menu. Learn more about this
tradition and the menus at cable.tv.
Every parent wants to see their child succeed – help
guide your junior golfer and they just might earn a college scholarship or a
spot at the Masters!
