The purpose of this tour is to grow the game of golf by making it more accessible. With most of our juniors being in the early stages of learning how to play golf, we have partnered with several local organizations to help your child learn the basics of golf. Additionally, these organizations promote character development and teach life-enhancing values through the game of golf. Below is a list of the local organizations with links to their website and contact information.

Instructors - VJ Trolio & Tim Yelverton
If your junior golfer is wanting to learn more about golf and move beyond the basics, we highly recommend the Old Waverly Junior Golf Program. Led by PGA Professionals VJ Trolio and Tim Yelverton, here, the junior golfers will learn HOW TO rather than WHAT TO. They will experience goal setting, skill building, and the transfer of that skill. They will come to learn the difference between TARGETING and AIMING. They will learn how to practice by OBJECTIVE rather than just beating on golf balls with no purpose. They will learn the importance of a ROUTINE rather than having a mind full of swing thoughts. They will learn the importance of REINFORCING each shot, each practice session, and each tournament.
