A game and experience of its own.
PGA Jr. League is shifting how youth golf is learned and played, including adopting league play, team golf and scoring with flags and points. All of these unique elements are further explained below.
Expert Coaching

The PGA Jr. League Format
Each team is broken down into two-person pairs (or three if a substitute is included) who play together in games.
All PGA Jr. League games are played in a two-person scramble format. This means that both players in a pair hit drives. The best shot is selected, and each player plays from the selected spot. This process continues until the ball is holed.
The scramble format allows everyone to hit shots and contribute to the team. PGA Jr. League utilizes match play scoring, which focuses on performance vs. a score-to-par, as is traditional with golf.
Within a PGA Jr. League game, pairs play in a head-to-head, 9-hole match. Each match is broken into three flags. Each flag is three holes in a row, and each team can earn points at the end of each flag.
