Introducing the SoCal Junior Golf Team
Leveling Out the Course
The Inland Golf Academy (IGA) and Tee Divas & Tee Dudes Golf Club (TDTD) have joined forces to support over 100 junior golfers from Los Angeles to Riverside. Together, we are committed to providing access, resources, and opportunities for underserved youth, fostering increased visibility, player development, and growth within the golfing community. Our support includes, but is not limited to: • Tournament and registration fees • Travel and lodging expenses • Player development, including specialized training, mental and physical coaching, equipment fitting, and equipment purchases • Mentorship program
The IGA and TDTD have supported youth golfers from the greater Los Angeles area to the Inland Empire, for the past 15 years and currently serve over 100 youth clients.

-
Addressing the primary concerns of our parents, youth golfers and community
-
Removing barriers that prevent youth participation
-
Providing resources that allow youth golfers to excel

Making a passion a career path
Our SoCal Junior Team members have been working hard in 2024 - from winning on the #StephCurry Underrated Junior Golf tour (Loren Fearence) to playing in the PGA National Junior Championship at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland (Koa Seymour) to signing college commitment papers to play golf for Seattle University in fall 2025 (Blayne Brown). Again, your Donations help these junior golfers achieve their Dreams. Please make a Donation of any size to support the identification and development of competitive junior golfers from underserved communities in Southern California.
