Connor Stirling Peterson tells coaches and parents that junior golfers averaging 85 should skip expensive nationwide AJGA tournaments and focus on easier local events instead. The real problem isn't tournament quality, it's skill level. Lower your scores first, then move up.
That's something that you really need to know. If you have a junior golfer and their scoring average is 85, then their main objective needs to be get the scores down and they need to play in events that are gonna be easier to get into, more cost effective. And, and their main problems are not the quality of the tournaments that they're playing in. Their main problems are really just that they don't have the skill quite yet, which is totally cool. Like everyone, you know, everyone's there at some point. But that's where you need to devote the, the energy, the resources into is getting their scores down, not traveling all over the country to do AJGA stuff.
