Avid Golfer Magazine published its annual “Best Of” issue and the Texas Junior Golf Tour was voted “Best Local Tour For Better Players”. TJGT President Dave Jones had this to say, “It is an extreme honor to be recognized as the best tour for better players by Mr. Craig Rosengarden and Avid Golfer Magazine. When we say ‘come play with the best’, don’t just take our word for it, listen to what the media says about us as well.”
The TJGT has over 900 former members playing college golf, placed more kids in the number one junior tournament, the Thunderbird and the AJGA Canon Cup the last two years, has a staff of over 50 current high school coaches from all over the state, and these are only a few of the reasons we are recognized as the best.
Copies of the magazine can be found all over the DFW metroplex at golf courses and golf retail shops or online at www.myavidgolfer.com.
