Lodge Lumber gives back to junior golf through the Lodge Lumber Points List!



Spring, TX (JUNE 3, 2024) –The Southern Texas PGA Junior Golf Program is excited to welcome Lodge Lumber as the title partner of the Lodge Lumber Summer Points Lists. This points list is used to determine who makes it to the STPGA Junior Championship at the end of the summer on August 5-7 at The Woodlands CC - Palmer Course.


The 11 individuals who earn the most points in their respective Little Linksters and Junior Tour divisions this summer will be called the Lodge Lumber Points List Winners. These 11 winners will each receive a unique award from Lodge Lumber on August 5 during the Opening Ceremony at the STPGA Junior Championship.


"We are so excited to support the STPGA Junior Golf Program," said J.W. Lodge, CEO of Lodge Lumber. "I grew up playing Little Linksters, and golf is such an important part of my life. From the life lessons to the people you meet, this is our way to support the next generation and continue to get junior golfers involved in golf."


Lodge Lumber is a premier regional provider of high-quality industrial and commercial forest products. Since 1940, it has been a family-owned business that has grown and prospered with a combination of personalized service, custom solutions, and efficient delivery. Today, the Lodge family is proud to continue in its third generation of ownership and support the local community in which it serves.


"The STPGA remains focused on building lifelong golfers and to have a former Little Linkster now CEO of a family-owned business to support our program, means the world," said Thomas Hutton, Executive Director of the STPGA. "The Lodge Lumber Points List was a natural fit as we look to continue to showcase our junior golfers during our largest event of the year. I cannot wait to see what unique award our team comes up with."


The STPGA Junior Golf Program is one of four pillars under the PGA of America REACH Foundation Southern Texas with a mission to impact lives in a positive manner. We are not able to do what we do without so many partners and supporters and we appreciate Lodge Lumber as our newest partner!

Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - November November kicked off at Forest Creek Golf Club for The Round Rock Cup, where Cole Gailys of Austin, TX shined with back-to-back under-par rounds to capture his first Prestige Tour victory. In the Girls Division, Rachel Turk of Austin, TX delivered the weekend’s lone even-par round, sealing her first Srixon Prestige Tour title of 2025 in impressive fashion.
