THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS LONGHORN GOLF PROGRAM HAS SELECTED THE TEXAS JUNIOR GOLF TOUR TO RUN THEIR “END OF CAMP” NATIONALLY RANKED TOURNAMENTS. EACH YEAR, THE MEN’S & WOMENS GOLF PROGRAMS RUN THE MOST EDUCATIONAL, INNOVATIVE AND VALUE BASED CAMP FOR JUNIOR GOLFERS IN THE COUNTRY. UT GOLF CAMPS ARE HOSTED AT THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED UT GOLF CLUB AND CAMPERS ARE GIVEN INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAME TO INCLUDE: SWING ANALYSIS, SHORT GAME, NUTRITION, PHYSICAL CONDITIONING, MENTAL GAME, AND EDUCATION ON ELITE JUNIOR & COLLEGE GOLF OPPORTUNITIES. HEAD COACHES JOHN FIELDS & MARTHA RICHARDS PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH MANY ADDITIONAL COLLEGIATE AND TOP HIGH SCHOOL GOLF COACHES ON THE CAMP STAFF.
THIS YEAR, THE UT GOLF CAMPS HAVE CREATED AN INNOVATIVE AND GROUND BREAKING OPPORTUNITY FOR CAMPERS WITH END OF THE WEEK NATIONALLY RANKED TOURNAMENTS. THESE TOURNAMENTS WILL PROVIDE NATIONAL EXPOSURE FOR JUNIORS ATTENDING THE CAMPS. FURTHERMORE, TOP FINISHERS WILL RECEIVE INVITATIONS TO TJGT TOP EVENTS FOR THE 2008/09 SCHEUDLE.
COACH FIELDS STATES, “WE SELECTED THE TJGT BASED ON THEIR OUTSTANDING TOURNAMENT OPERATIONS AND STAFF. THEIR STAFF OF TOP HIGH SCHOOL & FORMER COLLEGE COACHES PROVIDE A FIRST CLASS OPERATION FOR UT GOLF CAMP PARTICIPANTS. I HAVE ATTENDED MANY TJGT EVENTS INCLUDING THEIR INVITATIONALS AND THEY ARE SECOND TO NONE. BOTH UT MENS’ & WOMENS’ GOLF TEAMS HAVE NUMEROUS PLAYERS FROM THE TOUR. COACH RICHARDS & I HAVE WITNESSED THE HIGH LEVEL OF COMPETITON ON THE TOUR AND TJGT INVITATIONAL/HOLIDAY EVENTS RANK AS HIGH OR HIGHER AS MANY TOP AJGA EVENTS. THEIR STAFF AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EXPERIENCED HIGH SCHOOL & FORMER COLLEGE COACHES AS WELL AS PARENTS OF COLLEGE PLAYERS BRINGS A WEALTH OF INFORMATION TO THEIR MEMBERS. MY OWN TWO CHILDREN PLAYED THE TOUR AS JUNIORS AND BENEFITTED GREATLY. IT IS AN HONOR TO PARTNER WITH SUCH A WELL RESPECTED AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANZATION AS THE TEXAS JR. GOLF TOUR.”
COACH LYNN MONZINGO, TJGT VICE-PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS WILL OVERSEE THE TOUR STAFF DURING THE TOURNAMENT OPERATIONS AT THE UT GOLF CLUB. COACH MONZINGO, A FORMER STANDOUT COLLEGE GOLFER HIMSELF AS WELL AS FORMER COLLEGIATE COACH STATED, “IT IS AN HONOR FOR THE TJGT TO BE SELECTED BY SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS COLLEGIATE PROGRAM AS UT. THE HISTORY OF GREAT COLLEGIATE & PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS THE LONGHORNS HAVE PRODUCED IS REMARKABLE. THE TJGT’S MOTTO HAS ALWAYS BEEN: “COME PLAY WITH THE BEST”.
WE BELIEVE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS GOLF PROGRAM AND THEIR JUNIOR CAMPS IS A WIN/WIN FOR EVERYONE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE JUNIOR GOLFERS ATTENDING THE CAMPS. I COMMEND COACH FIELDS & RICHARDS ON THEIR INNOVATIVE AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP. THEY BRING A FRESH, NEW IDEA TO THE COLLEGIATE GOLF SUMMER CAMPS. PARENTS AND PLAYERS WILL BENEFIT TREMENDOUSLY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING ALL THE CAMPERS “COME PLAY WITH THE BEST” ON THE TJGT.”
