  • You have done a wonderful job managing the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour as well as dispersing information.

  • Our son is fourteen and has been playing with the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour now for two years. His experience with the tour has been wonderful. This program is exceptional and we are so thankful that this is available to the young golfers today. Our only wish is that we would have found it sooner; we would have loved our son to play at the Developmental level as well. Our son has made so many new friends and has had the opportunity to play and compete with juniors of all skill levels. The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour has provided him with just the right amount of competition, great course’s to play, and the opportunity to make new friends. The staff at the Philadelphia Section PGA is excellent, always there for help and guidance.

  • Our son, Cole, had a wonderful experience this summer playing with the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour. The tour was well organized, the feeling was always positive and professional. Cole made friends playing on the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour and we thought it was amazing to see that they could play competitively and still have fun. We look forward to next summer.

  • The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour staff gets a 100. They were always available to answer questions, always promptly got back to emails and even sent Jared (my son) his jacket when he left it at a match! They have done a great job for junior golf in the Philadelphia area. Thank you!

    — Lynne Wexler ~ Jr. Tour Parent

  • You did a great job providing opportunities and in communication. Thank you for all that you did this year to make the tournaments the boys did attend fun and well run. We are always recommending the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour to anyone we meet with young golfers. We look forward to a great year next year.

  • The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour was recommended to us a couple years ago after Mark attended one on Vin Ciarlone’s Junior Golf Camps at Northampton CC with a couple of his cousins. Vin thought that Mark demonstrated some natural golf talent and would enjoy a very positive experience getting involved with the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour. Truer words could not have been spoken.

    However, it wasn’t until this year that I could convince Mark to take some time away from his baseball and football team activities to give the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour a shot. He wonders now why he waited so long.

    The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour experience has far exceeded all of his (and my) expectations. The level of competition is very challenging and Mark has enjoyed playing with all the fellow members he has met. The tournaments are very professionally organized and run…and the courses selected are excellent! Mark commented to me after our first event that he really felt like he was on the “Pro Tour”. The PhillyJuniorTour.com web site is awesome and the proactive email communication system is fantastic. Everything is truly first-rate.

    You and all who work in the Philly Junior Tour organization are to be highly commended. Very well done! The Farley’s cannot wait until next season begins. It surely cannot get here soon enough!

  • My son, William J. Hoese, has participated on the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour for eight years. We found it to be competitive, enjoyable, and affordable. Over the years they have expanded the course offerings and have done a great job of providing all sorts of information on the web site. It is a wonderful junior golf resource in the area.

  • My son just completed his first year playing on the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour. Not only did he have the opportunity to play on some of the region’s best golf courses, he gained maturity, knowledge of the game and invaluable competitive golf experience. He had fun, made friends and is anxiously awaiting the next season. All the golf professionals associated with the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour, especially Brian Schulte, did an excellent job organizing and managing the tournaments and communicating with the players – and the website is terrific!

  • My first experience in the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour was at the age of twelve. To be able to play in tournaments at some of the best courses in a four state area has been a great experience. It has enabled me each year to partake at the next level of golf. I am now seventeen years old and able to compete in national tournaments like the AJGA and the FCWT. Many of these tournaments are followed in person by some of the most prestigious collegiate coaches seeking prospective golfers for their schools golf teams. Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love and Tiger Woods, in their teen years all had partaken in the AJGA tournaments where they were first recognized. Belonging to the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour can eventually lead you in this direction.

    I am now in my senior year at Marple Newtown High School, captain and MVP of our golf team for the past several years and taking the Central League Championship the past two years. Hopefully I will continue on to College golf where I am now a prospective golfer for James Madison University, Campbell University, Penn State and Towson University where I have been in contact with their golf coaches. All this because of the dedicated services of the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour and especially Joe Monforto and Brian Schulte. Now in my last year in the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour I will always remember and reminisce about all the great times and opportunities, how the tour got better each year and the friends I made along the way.

  • We have enjoyed being part of the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour. It is always very well organized and the additional enhancements to the website this year makes it easy to register and keep track of tournament schedules. We recommend it to everyone we talk to for the next level of competition. We look forward to next season!

  • What more could a junior ask for? The opportunities presented by The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour are numerous inclusive of the wonderful courses that are played upon, the competition that is enveloped in each event, the excellent organizational skills of the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour director and most of all, the friendships that are developed between the participants. Juniors have ipods, computers, cell phones, etc., as distractions in today’s world and it is quite heart warming to have our son ask when the next event is even as we leave from an event just completed. May the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour continue to grow in prosperity and opportunity for today’s younger generation!

  • I have personally been involved in the Philadelphia Section since 1982 when I turned professional. The Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour is the greatest training ground for junior golf in the entire Philadelphia Section. My son participated in a couple Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour events and the professionalism and organization of these events are second to none. This venue is a great chance for all levels of competition to compete, enjoy, and also get a chance to improve your golf skills on some awesome courses in the Philadelphia area. The greatest investment you can make on behalf of any child toward an opportunity in sports is the Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour.
