The First Tee PGA Jr. League 17U All-Star Team qualified for the PGA Jr. League Regional Championship to be held at the Santa Rosa Golf & Country Club from Sept. 15-17 along with seven other teams from Region 12 (Aloha, Northern California, Southern California and Southwest). The “Backspinners,” as the team is called, is hoping to advance to the PGA Jr. League Championship to be held from Nov. 16-19 at the Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico.

In order to get this done, the team needs to raise around $10,000 for travel expenses. DONATE HERE
