Get the "TOUR" Experience at FootJoy Boys Invitational |

At the FootJoy Boys Invitational it wasn’t hard to see
the similarities between that event and a PGA TOUR event. Held
at the same venue as the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro, the
FootJoy Boys Invitational treated juniors to a first-class course
with the feel of a professional event.

famous Sign Boy made an appearance at the FootJoy Boys
Invitational once again in 2005. |
Thanks
to the support of FootJoy, the AJGA conducts the event annually,
attracting the top boys’ talent in junior golf. As the
title sponsor of the prestigious championship, FootJoy is fully
committed to make sure everyone on-site has a very enjoyable
experience.
On the driving range, players were treated to Pro VIs to warm
up. During the practice round, Sign Boy kept everyone laughing,
lightening the mood with his antics and telling the juniors
“how we do it on tour.”
Players and their families don’t have to worry about eating
out at restaurants all week either, as food and beverage were
provided for almost every meal.
The event also has the feel of a TOUR event with the professional
signage seen throughout the facility, including the electronic
leaderboard on No. 18, the tee markers and tee signage on the
first and 10th tees.
One of the many other ways FootJoy makes this tournament so
great is by providing a travel stipend for players that helps
alleviate some of the financial stress of traveling to the event.

Boy professes his love for FootJoy at the FootJoy Boys
Invitational. |
“FootJoy is a wonderful friend and supporter of this event
and the AJGA,” said AJGA Assistant Executive Director
Peter Ripa, who also served as the tournament director of this
event. “Everyone had a fantastic week.”
The FootJoy Boys Invitational is just one way the company is
involved with the AJGA. FootJoy supports the AJGA in numerous
other ways as the “Official Footwear of the AJGA.”
As a nonprofit organization, the AJGA depends on the support
of generous sponsors such as FootJoy, but FootJoy is much more
than just a sponsor. FootJoy is a company that cares about the
future of golf and is doing all it can to help develop golf’s
next generation.
