JuniorLinks.com
Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
Site offers valuable search engine to find local junior
golf programs
This winter, kids, parents and junior golf
program directors will have the ability to search almost
1,000 junior golf programs while having access to new animated
greeting cards and a special trivia game when they visit
JuniorLinks.com.
JuniorLinks, developed by the U.S. Golf Association, is
the one-stop resource for locating information on junior
golf programs and primary communication tool for the junior
golf community. All three of these offerings are part of
JuniorLinks one-year anniversary celebration.
This generation of golfers isnt just spending
their days on the course, theyre spending time on
the computer as well. Weve worked very hard to expand
JuniorLinks to be one of the most comprehensive junior golf
resources around. In addition, we hope to show visitors
that our new features are interactive, engaging and educational,
said Jessica Turnwald, USGA Foundation Coordinator.
During this phase of new development, the focus has been
on tailoring subject matter to kids. JuniorLinks new
greeting cards are free and are available in three different
formats: birthday, general greeting card and a special registration
reminder card that junior golf programs across the country
can send to members and potential members. They can be found
at www.juniorlinks.com/greetings. The new trivia game, Trivia
Challenge, focuses on areas such as golf history,
player records, rules and much more. JuniorLinks mascot,
Waggle, and a unique cast of caddies will challenge
your knowledge of golf. The trivia game can be found at
www.juniorlinks.com/games.
Were pleased to have come so far during the
sites inaugural year, said Ruffin Beckwith,
Executive Director of GOLF 20/20, JuniorLinks.com
not only addressed a need for an online junior golf program
database, but now offers expansive resources for anyone
interested in giving a kid a start in this great game.
The GOLF 20/20 Junior Initiative, an effort to enhance the
growth of the game by recognizing junior golfers as the
games future, originally launched JuniorLinks.com
in November 2001 after its development made possible by
USGA funding.
AJGA Executive Director Stephen Hamblin is a member of the
GOLF 20/20 Junior Task Force.
