The John Fields University of Texas Golf Camp I Tournament was held on June 23rd at the University of Texas golf club. The 36-hole event was shortened to 27-holes due to rain. The tournament portion of the camp was run by TJGT staff headed up by Director of Operations, Coach Lynn Monzingo. UT men’s coach and camp founder John Fields had this to say about the camp and the tournament.
“The camp organization and structure allowed the golfers the best opportunity to grow in all areas of the game. I think this was the most beneficial golf camp I have ever seen with outstanding organization and preparation by the staff and it was very exciting to watch the “professional staff” work with the campers and witness true growth by the students.
Coach Fields added, “The camp was structured to maximize the staff’s expertise while matching the instruction to the specific needs of the golfers. The inclusion of the Texas Junior Golf Tour in the camp provided a competitive, professional feeling to the camp and brought a “big time” tournament atmosphere to our event. The Texas Junior Golf Tour scoreboard was provided by renowned “scoreboard man” Eddie Davis and we are truly excited about the product provided by the Texas Junior Golf Tour. Thank you very much TJGT!”
Campers utilized the “state of the art” facilities at the UT Club throughout the week.
Coach Monzingo commented,
“Coach Fields has a assembled a veteran staff, comprised mainly of college coaches with 2 TJGT Staff Members (High School Coaches) as well as current players from the UT Golf Team. The energy and motivation was really exciting to watch. The Texas Junior Golf Tour is very excited about being a part of the innovative and motivational approach used by Coach Fields. We can’t wait until Camp II which begins Thursday, June 26th and concludes on Monday, June 30th with the Texas Junior Golf Tour hosting the Camp Tournament once again.”
