“The tournament was so much fun! Probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing in a tournament.”

Message from a team mate:
“Hey Randy, (MGA Director of Junior Golf) I just want to thank you for all you did this past weekend and all you did to get it set up. The tournament was so much fun! Probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing in a tournament. It’s just now starting to sink in that this was the last junior event I will ever play in. I’m gonna miss the Jjunior Amm and the Junior Match Play so much every summer. A lot of the credit goes to you and the MGA for my success. I wouldnt be where I am at now without you guys, especially you. Thanks for appreciating us even when we don’t play well. My parents are really good about understanding that we’re gonna have off days but I know that some parents aren’t. What you do during and between rounds for kids means a lot to them. Helps them play better and makes them feel good even if they are having a bad day. I will still see you at all the men events but thank you for all the things you have done in the junior progam and thank you for all the support you have shown me ever since I started playing. I love all you guys and everyone with the MGA. Thank you, Joey Johnson”
