Fall 2026 First Tee San Joaquin PGA Jr. League at Swenson Park

The Fall First Tee San Joaquin PGA Jr. League at Swenson Park Golf Course is an exciting, fun, and inclusive team-based youth golf program designed to introduce kids to the game in a social, supportive environment—much like other recreational youth sports such as Little League baseball or soccer. This program emphasizes team play, skill development, and enjoyment over intense individual competition. Participants wear team jerseys, build friendships, and learn from qualified instructors in a welcoming setting open to all skill levels. Program Details at Swenson Park Golf Course Ages & Schedule: Ages 7-11: 7 practices on Wednesdays from 4:30–5:30 PM, plus 6 matches on Saturdays with tee times starting at 2 pm. Ages 12-17: 7 practices on Thursdays from 4:30–5:30 PM, plus 6 matches on Saturdays with tee times starting at 2 pm. Practices: These focused, one-hour sessions are led by PGA Professional Jack Kuller at Swenson Park Golf Course. They cover fundamentals like swing technique, short game, putting, rules, etiquette, and team strategies—creating a nurturing space to build confidence and improve at your own pace. Game Days: The program features 7 competitive yet recreational matches, played in a popular two-player scramble format (both teammates hit shots, the best one is chosen, and play continues from there until the hole is completed). Matches use a fun, point-based match play system (divided into "flags" of 3 holes each for scoring excitement). This format lets everyone contribute, reduces pressure, and keeps things social and encouraging.
