Atlantic Junior Golf Tour
Atlantic Junior Golf Tour (AJGT) est. 2010
Suitable For Both Developing And Experienced Players.
The Atlantic Junior Golf Tour is a great way to refine your skills and experience healthy competition. Are you interested in a sport that offers minimal contact and the chance to develop critical life skills? Look no further than golf!
Golf is a great way to get some exercise! While it is not a high-intensity activity, golfers do a lot of walking. Because of this, the University of Edinburgh suggests that playing golf can actually increase life expectancy.
The sport has a number of different benefits, including:
- Relief of stress and anxiety
- Burning up to 2,000 calories
- A low impact workout
- Meeting new people and forming life-long friendships.
Beginning a new sport can be challenging. After all, we all have to start as beginners! If you are interested in joining a golf tour specifically designed to help you improve your skills, join Indian River Golf Foundation’s Atlantic Junior Golf Tour! We offer a number of different services for all young players, regardless of skill set.
Purpose of the Atlantic Junior Golf Tour
Here at Indian River Golf Foundation, we believe in helping children across Indian, St. Lucie, and Brevard Counties learn the sport of golf and how it can be influential in their lives. That is why we have two specific purposes for the AJGT that we hope resonates with all of our players.
The first purpose is to provide tournament experiences for young developing players. We want to give our players the chance to show off the skills that they have learned through IRGF training in a real-life competitive setting. The second purpose is to build confidence, character, and leadership in all of our players. Learning golf also means learning self-discipline and how to lead a team. Therefore, the skills our players learn from golf, they can use throughout the rest of their professional and personal lives.
