Welcome to The Opening Tee Shot

Thanks for joining us here!

This week we're heading down to TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra, Florida as our son participates in the Junior PLAYERS Championship. This is one of my favorite events of the year because I love the area and the golf course. We're making it a full-fledged family affair too, with several others joining us. It should be a great week!

While it's still broiling hot outside, we have new schedules and events thanks to the fall season. Today's newsletter is all about making the transition from summer to fall with junior golf and how to maximize these busy back-to-school schedules.

⛳ Transitioning to fall

This time of year may mean football games, firepits, and pumpkin spice lattes, but it's also a special time for developing a junior golfer. From modified practice schedules to getting intentional about tournaments and goal-setting, the fall months are perfect for building the momentum for the next year.

Take a look at this latest article on Junior Golf Playbook and how you can make the most of cooler temps and shorter days.
