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.
