    The whole thing was great —don’t forget the pebble beach guys — but that mortgage story from Tiger to play ajga makes me upset.

    Today it’s like 3-400 a pop for one of those things plus another hundred for a qualifier event. But the thing is there are so many, so spread out, they don’t seem important. Definitely not as much as they used to be.

    Img Junior worlds is about the same price but it’s clear with its grass roots qualifying system, and this one clear culminating event, that it really is a big deal.

    Then there those little usga championships.

    Ajga is great but great Junior Players really don’t need ajga with so many other opportunities to shine these days.

    If you ask me even during tigers day his work in Southern California Junior golf was likely more than enough to have all college coaches including Stanford all over him.

    His parents really never needed to take out that mortgage. The fact they they shouldn’t have to do something like take out a second mortgage to get college coaches to recognize their kid recognized in Junior golf is a whole other story.
