What is the Gateway PGA’s goal in providing information on other programs?
The Gateway PGA is promoting our own junior program first. Our mission is to help grow the game of golf. Our program will prepare juniors for higher-level golf competitions. The more Gateway PGA Junior events a junior plays, the more experience and confidence he or she will have as they compete in other tournaments. Note additional events and associations listed below.
