UNIVERSITY PLACE, WA - From PGA Jr League: Registration for PGA Jr. League golf is now open at facilities throughout the Tacoma market. This is a great spring and summer option for kids interested in learning to play golf.

Many local courses open their leagues to the public, meaning parents do not have to be members at a local club in order for their kids to participate. Visit PGAJrLeague.com to find all local teams by ZIP code or facility and register online.

PGA Jr. League is a game-changing program that brings family and friends together around fun, team golf experiences with expert coaching from PGA and LPGA Professionals.
