First Tee will Debut the Junior Experience at THE 119th U.S. Open, June 10-16
The USGA has partnered with First Tee to bring a family friendly experience to the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach called the Junior Experience. Located within the U.S. Open’s Fan Central, the Junior Experience is one of a series of initiatives in which the two organizations have committed to deliver in 2019 to support the growth and long-term viability of golf, which also includes the continuation of an extensive annual First Tee chapter grant program funded by USGA. Since First Tee’s inception in 1997, USGA has provided more than $26 million in grants to the organization.
Interactive, family fun activities will include:
Putting green
Chipping challenge
Golf simulator
Giant coloring wall
Course-wide scavenger hunt
Digital photo booth to document all the memories you’ll be making
Kids won’t be the only ones having fun in Fan Central, parents can relax in the tent as well at the charging stations. The Junior Experience will be available all week long with the hours Monday-Wednesday from 10am-4pm and Thursday-Sunday from 9am-6pm.
