The AT&T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association is sincerely grateful to The Monterey Peninsula Foundation’s long-term support. They continue to play an essential role in the growth and success of our association.

We would like to express our appreciation by thanking the many people and businesses who have graciously supported our programs. We want you to know how much this means to us, for it would be difficult to continue without you. We welcome you to attend our events.

Our sincere thanks to Bill Sendell, Director of Tournaments at the Pebble Beach Resorts, and one of our Board members of the AT&T Junior Golf Association.Bill is our year round Tournament and Clinic Director who continues his fantastic job of making sure each tournament is well run in a safe environment for  hundreds of Junior Golfers. 

And to Golf Professional and Board member Patrick Parrish, who is the supervisor of all our Instructional and Skills Evaluation Clinics held every month at Poppy Hills Golf Course.  We welcome him and thank him for his service and commitment to our program.

We would like to thank the Peter Hay Golf Course, Rancho Cañada Golf Club, Laguna Seca Golf Club, Del Monte Golf Course, Pacific Grove Golf Course, Corral de Tierra Golf Club, Golf Club at Quail, Poppy Hills Golf Course, Carmel Valley Ranch, The Preserve Golf Course, Links at Spanish Bay, Tehama Golf Club and Spyglass Hill Golf Course for hosting the “Summer Tournaments”. The facilities were top notch, the courses terrific and the staff was gracious and accommodating. We cannot express fully how much these tournaments mean to the kids.

As you know, none of our events would be possible without the assistance of our dedicated volunteers. Words can’t say enough of how very grateful we are to all of you who answer the call to help register and score for our ongoing tournaments.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association thanks the Monterey Herald for printing so many wonderful articles recognizing our many junior golfers who throughout the year have appeared and placed in competition on the links Congratulations!

We are proud that for 24 years our program has had a significant impact on shaping the life styles of so many junior golfers, by helping them realize the positive rewards that come from playing golf and the reason for playing, the participation itself. Our continuing goal is to develop not only better golfers, but also better people.

We give special thanks to all our volunteers who generously donate their time throughout the year. The success and quality of our Junior Golf program continues to be the result of many dedicated and interested people.

For our tournaments to continue to succeed, there is a vital need for individuals, (parents, adults and older junior golf students) to score for the bronze and silver divisions. We recognize that some of you are happy and willing to volunteer but may not feel qualified to score therefore this year we are offering training.

For more information please call - 625-1555, or e-mail us at……… pbjrgolf@ix.netcom.com

APPLAUSE
 

Carlos Alvarez, a recipient of a $5,000schoalrship from the Darius Keaton Memorial Scholarship fund.

Carlos said, “ The Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association has been an experience I will never forget because it has given me opportunities to meet many new friends, develop my communication skills, and taught me
how to face challenges and become more confident by helping others. “ He said he can translate those
lessons learned on and off the golf course to his life and in the future.

Caroline Belmont received a $5,000 scholarship from the Johnny Miller Scholarship fund.

Caroline said, “I remember qualifying for the tournament of Champions at Spyglass Hill. Playing nine holes there
was one of the most nerve wracking experiences I had in my nine years of life, but now I look back at
that memory as one that helped prepare me for many other tournaments and real life situations. “Golf gave me perseverance and the drive to succeed. It has shaped me and the way I respond to challenges,
and the AT&T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association is what gave me this amazing game!

Hana Kim received a $5,000 from the Jim Langley Scholarship Fund.

Hana said, “To me the AT&T
Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association will always remain an important program that has not only
helped me improve my golf game, but has taught me traits that I can use in my daily life as well. I will
remember and use everything I have learned when I go to college next fall.

David Oh received a $5,000 scholarship from the Payne Stewart Memorial Scholarship Fund.

David said, “The AT&T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association has given me numerous opportunities to play the
game I love and to give back by scoring for younger kids during tournaments and many other volunteer
opportunities. All of the essential traits that I have gained through the Association have helped me to
become a responsible and empathetic individual in my community. I hope to utilize these skills in college
and in life”.


 I want to thank you on behalf of our family for all you have done for Annie, the past 18 years.  Annie became a member at age 7, and the opportunities and support you have given her are core reason she stands on every tee box so confidently, delivers a speech to a crowd with poise and polish and reaches out to her community in service on a regular basis.  The AT&T Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association is a role model to this community in every way.

            You helped her play every local golf course and graduate to State, High School, National and International … preparing for now Division I College golf.

            The defining moment for me was when Annie received her dream invitation to play Cypress.

            She stood on the Men's' 16th tee box, her shot was 220 yards, a par-three over the ocean.  She set herself up and remembered the words of a speaker who had inspired her -- "Sometimes you have to make your own magic!"  When her ball solidly landed on the green, five feet from the pin, the others cheered.

            From the bottom of my heart, I want you all to know how much you have done for Annie.

Thank you.

January 2011

I did it! I graduated from Santa ClaraUniversity with a degree in Civil Engineering.  I couldn't have done it without the AT&T Junior Golf Association's help.  Next year, I will be going to Chicago to teach at a high school.  While I'm there, I will be able to import lessons of etiquette and integrity that the Association taught me.  Again, thank you for everything you have done!

Jack Corrigan


I am writing this letter to show my utmost appreciation for everything you have done for me.

From golf tournaments to scholarship awards, you have truly made my life so much better.

Thank you so much for providing me with the opportunities that you have given me. 

I can’t tell you in words how much it means to me.  Thanks again.
