Day in a Life
The Day in a Life Program is designed to provide the next generation with an opportunity to be introduced to a career path in golf outside of playing the game. The AJGA showcases the business side of golf in areas like Tournament Administration, Operations, and Communications — all while having fun watching the world's best junior golfers compete in an AJGA tournament.

TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve learned so much of the behind-the-scenes [of running a golf tournament] at the Day in a Life Program. I really like the hands-on experience I’ve had with starting, scoring, and the timing stations.”
- Eden Washington, 14, Baltimore
“I really liked the red card system a lot. I loved interacting with the players telling them that they're doing a good job or they need to pick up the pace. I just felt like giving them instructions was really helpful to their game.”
- Nasir Shabazz, 14, Baltimore
"I knew I wanted to be on this side of the golf industry and getting to participate in this program makes me that much more confident. I learned a lot from my time here and thank the AJGA and the First Tee for the opportunity."
- Sarah Walden, 15, Greensboro
