The 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.

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.
Matches: The program features 6 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.
This league brings friends and families together through golf, fostering lifelong love for the game while developing skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork. It’s perfect for beginners building basics or more experienced juniors looking for a team-oriented experience.
