Their Voice.
Their Brand.
Each year, young artists create original drawings and paintings inspired by PBJG partner facilities. Selected artwork becomes the official event mark for tournaments and fundraisers. At season's end, the originals are showcased and auctioned at the annual November Invitational, with proceeds supporting the program's growth. Led by board member Stephen Malbon.

Ages 6 to 17
Learn. Play.
Compete.
PBJGA introduces local youth ages 6 to 17 to golf through quality instruction, etiquette, the rules of the game, and competitive tournament play in a supportive environment. We teach not just the skills to excel on the course, but the personal skills that carry into school, business, and life.

To Scholarship
Our Approach
How We Coach
Highly qualified coaches lead every clinic, lesson, and tournament. We build the skills needed to excel on the course, and the personal skills that carry into school, careers, and life. Players advance at their own pace, moving up through skill levels and divisions as they grow, with golf staying fun every step of the way.

Skills, Not Just Scores

Grip, stance, the full swing, short game, and course management, taught with patience and broken down by level so every player keeps improving.

Etiquette And Character

Integrity, perseverance, humility, and self-discipline. We teach the rules of the game and the respect that comes with them.

A Clear Pathway

From a first clinic to 18-hole Platinum division play, members progress through divisions, form friendships through competition, and build toward our scholarship program.

Where Are They Now
Catching Up With
Marcus Michie
Every scholarship we award is a bet on a young person's future. Marcus Michie is exactly the kind of student who reminds us why we do this. A PBJG scholarship recipient now studying at the University of Pennsylvania, Marcus is thriving, leading, and giving back, all while carrying a 3.86 GPA.
Penn, Class of 2028
At Penn, Marcus is majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, with minors spanning American Public Policy, Legal Studies and History, and Classical Studies. His coursework runs from Constitutional Law to the history of American law, the questions a future attorney lives for.
As he puts it, "I am astonished and fascinated by the creation and evolution of the law of the land." That curiosity is matched by leadership. As a sophomore, Marcus serves as President of the Penn Political Union, the university's forum for political deliberation, bringing opposing parties together for debate and dialogue at one of the most divided moments in modern memory.
This summer he is interning with the Monterey County Public Defender's Office, supporting the right to legal counsel for the most vulnerable in his home community. "Thank you for this scholarship," he wrote to us. "I am extremely grateful to the Pebble Beach Junior Golf Association."
From convocation to the debate stage to dinners with friends, Marcus has found a second home in Philadelphia.

Players Making Their Mark
Our Players
In The World
Our members carry the Monterey Peninsula with them wherever they compete. We love watching them make their mark on the national and world stage.
Ryan Lind · 2025 World Champion
PBJG Player of the Year in 2024, Ryan Lind took his game to the world stage and won. In August he captured the 2025 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship for Boys 11 at Pinehurst, North Carolina, beating a field of more than 125 of the best young players on the planet.
Ryan posted a three-day total of 10-under-par 206, with 15 birdies and an eagle along the way, including a blistering second-round 64, the lowest round in his division. From the Monterey Peninsula to a world title, this is exactly the kind of journey junior golf is all about.
