Page 4 WWW.SUNCOUNTRY.PGA.COM Parents Page A note from the Sun Country PGA Junior Tour Staff Dear Parents and Juniors, Thank you for joining our 2015 Sun Country PGA Junior Golf Tour! We are excited about what the 2015 season holds as we have many great tournaments and venues scheduled for the Tour this year. First off, remember that the best way to keep up with Junior Tour news is to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @SunCountryGolf. It s the best way to find out about schedule changes, upcoming events, scholarships, pictures, videos and more! Did you hear about the Golf Marathon Sun Country held last year? PGA Professionals and junior golfers from all over New Mexico and El Paso played 100+ holes of golf in one day to raise money for the Sun Country Junior Golf Foundation and a charity of their choice. With the proceeds, the Junior Foundation is planning to bring a golf curriculum to P.E. classes in elementary and middle schools. We re starting small but hope to expand rapidly, with your help! This summer, if you see that your local pro is doing a golf marathon, please make a pledge to support them. Every donation helps us build junior golf in Sun Country! Lastly, we are excited that the Los Altos Golf Course, and Lone Star Golf Club will play host to two of our three Junior Tour Majors this year, the Sun Country Junior Tour Match Play and the Sun Country Junior Tour Championship, respectively. And keep a look out for more information on the Parent-Junior. This tournament is always a fun way to spend time with family and wrap up an enjoyable summer of golf. We are excited to have you as a member of the 2015 Sun Country Junior Golf Tour and we look forward to sharing another great summer of golf with you! So get out today and tee it up and play!
