TRISTAN MANDUR
University of Utah
(BC Junior Champion – 2016)
Junior Golf Victoria helped elevate my game to where I could compete provincially, nationally and now internationally as a member of a NCAA Division 1 golf team. Their tournaments provided competitive experience teaching me how to handle pressure. I also learned how to play faster.

Dominican College, Orangeburg New York
The Tour helped prepare my golf and mental game for a demanding NCAA collegiate schedule teaching me how to play with pressure. I would not be where I am now without the Junior Golf Victoria.
AIDAN GOODFELLOW
Simon Fraser University
Growing up playing the Junior Golf Victoria Tour accorded me the opportunity to play courses I could never have imagined playing as well as playing with and against many people with the same goals as me. I will always cherish those memories.
MEGAN WOODLAND
University of Victoria
(Two Time Female Athlete of the Year)
(NAIA and Canadian University Champion)
Playing the Junior Tour gave me a competitive edge and the opportunity to form lifelong friendships. Without it I don’t think I would have had the confidence to play Collegiate golf let alone the success I had. It is a great program that creates a solid foundation for competitive golf.
SARAH PHIPPS
University of Charleston, West Virginia
Junior Golf Victoria had a large impact on my life increasing my knowledge and skills as a player and helping me build confidence. I would have never imagined attending an NCAA university on a golf scholarship when I first started swinging a club. Junior Golf Victoria got me there.
NATE OLLIS
University of British Columbia
(Canadian University Champion)
Junior Golf Victoria gave me an outstanding start my competitive golf career and many of the friendships I formed have lasted to this day. The experience allowed me to effortlessly transition to a competitive college career. I can’t say enough good things about it.
