"Thank you, STPGA, for all the support and encouragement you have given me throughout my middle school and high school years. I have learned so much from playing in this league that I have applied to my golf and academic life. I was taught the importance of sportsmanship when my patience was tested and the perseverance to not quit when I had a rough round. I was given the foundation and support to be a competitive golfer, something I could not have built on my own. The STPGA has been the key to making my summer something I look forward to, and I will deeply miss playing in this league as I move on to play college golf for the University of the Incarnate Word. Thank you once again for the kindness of the workers and the hearts of the volunteers that helped make the STPGA the best and most enjoyable golf league in Texas."
Lizeth Escobedo, STPGA Junior Golfer

"Thank you so much for organizing such a great championship. I had a wonderful time and I really felt like I was playing in a PGA tour event. I look forward to competing in the next championship. Thanks again."

"Janice (Austin Area) was extremely friendly, supportive and helpful with improving Delaney’s knowledge of the game.   She really took the extra effort during each tournament to answer any questions and provide some feedback to help Delaney improve her game.  Jodi  (Bryan/College Station Area) was very friendly and helpful at the tournaments.   She provided some insight of golf (college years) that really “peaked” Delaney’s interest."
John Nelson, parent of STPGA Junior Golfer

 

"An organization that has helped me greatly in achieving my goal of playing at the next level, the college level, is the STPGA. I started playing with the STPGA when I was a sophomore in high school. Since then I have been able to play all around the Rio Grand Valley at the best country clubs there is in the area. The STPGA provides extreme competition that is brought in by the best golfers around the valley. It also gives you a sense of the type of level you will play in when you are in college. It truly gives you a realistic experience. Another element that the STPGA provides you with is fun, one of the most important things. It let's you love the game and enjoy the golf course and the people you play with. The STPGA has really given me opportunities to grow as a golfer and as a person as well. I am so thankful and very honored to be a part of this amazing organization."

"I am the boys and girls golf coach at Gregory-Portland HS in Portland, Tx.  My daughter, Brooke DeGaish, who will be a freshman next year at Gregory-Portland has been involved in the STPGA for the past 6 years.  Patty Robinson and her Corpus Christi staff do an amazing job hosting and organizing tournaments every summer.  My wife and I are extremely grateful for the caring and kindness that the staff has shown to our family and to all the kids.  It is the highlight of our summer which we look forward to every year.  Thanks for the relationships that you all have built  and for making our summers so enjoyable."

"We wanted to take a little time to let you and your staff know how much we enjoy and appreciate the experience of participating in the Beaumont Metro Section of the South Texas PGA Little Linksters and Junior Tour.  Our son, Conner started playing as a 7 year old in Little Linksters 6 years ago and is now actively competing in what is becoming a large and highly competitive 13-15 year old division in the Beaumont Metro Section Junior Tour.  You and your staff continue to run a very solid and very professional junior program.  On tournament days, you guys are like concert "roadies"!  You're the first to come and the last to leave!"
Greg & Tanya Guillotte, parents of STPGA Junior Golfers


"I am the boys golf coach from Victoria West HS, as well as the parent of Meagan Neuman,who will be a senior on the girls golf team at Victoria West HS.  Meagan has been part of the STPGA program since being a little linkster. Without the program I do not believe she would have been as successful as she's been or even playing the sport today.  I have known Coach Robinson, and her staff for quite a few years. What a job they have done in organizing, and expanding the program. It has lead to the success of HS golf throughout the region, and has and will continue to grow the game of golf."
Fred Neuman, father of STPGA Junior Golfer


"I just wanted to take the time to thank the STJPGA staff in Corpus for all that they have done these last few years in Corpus.  The tournaments are well organized and ran very efficiently.  My son, Giovanni, has had the time of his life each year playing.  The videos that are made at the end of the season are awesome and always a family favorite at the Guerra house.  In fact, we have probably viewed each of them a 1,000 times.  Thank you so much for all you do for all these children. We are truly grateful to all of you and the STJPGA team for making our summers so special and fun for the kiddos."
Jesse Guerra, father of STPGA Junior Golfer

 

"Overall, I am very impressed with the online features for Little Linksters. The registration is easy to use, and it's great to see the scores show up quickly. That's a great feature for those of us stuck in our offices while the kids are playing tournaments.  I am very happy with the Little Linksters program as well. My son is playing tournaments twice a week, and is having a great time. Thank you, and your staff,  for all the hard work that goes into a successful junior program."
Ross McMicken, father of STPGA Junior Golfer


"Just a quick note to thank you so much for the excellent Junior Golf programs you conduct for us.  The true passion, enthusiasm, commitment, organization and professionalism of the STPGA is truly inspiring and a breath of fresh air!   We cannot thank you enough for introducing our kids to a fun, friendly…..yet competitive environment playing in the Little Linkster’s Program.  Our kids are learning a lot about the rules, the game and themselves….which is what this is all about!"
Moore McDonough, father of STPGA Junior Golfers

"My two daughters have been playing Little Linkster Tournaments for three years now and thoroughly enjoy the experience!  They see friends that they have played with before in these tournaments and make new ones along the way. What I like about Little Linksters is that for beginner golfers, it makes the kids accountable for the rules of golf and integrity of the game.  It's wonderful that they can play all the different courses that are involved and are always trying to improve from their last score.  The staff that runs the individual tournaments are extremely friendly and helpful and always have the kids' best interest in mind."
Chris Jalufka, mother of STPGA Junior Golfers

"STPGA has played a big part in my development as a golfer. I started playing in the STPGA when I was eight and continued to build on that experience as I progressed through my junior career. I truly believe I would not be where I am today without the help of the STPGA. I would recommend the STPGA to any junior who wants to start competing and developing a career in golf. I cannot thank the STPGA enough for what they do for junior golf in southern Texas."
