We couldn’t be more excited to kick off another year of tournament golf, meet all the new families, reconnect with returning players, and watch these young golfers grow in confidence both on and off the course.

Thank you for being part of the Kensington Junior Tour family. We’ll see everyone at Whispering Willows! 🎉🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️

⛳️ THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER! ⛳️

Tournament season is finally here, and we can’t wait to see all of our junior golfers on the first tee! 🎉

A few quick reminders:

✅ Tee times will be posted 48 hours before each event on the KJGT website
✅ Golf attire is appreciated, but not required
✅ Pairings are random and juniors will be paired with new competitors to help build confidence, communication skills, and friendships

One of the best parts of tournament golf is meeting new players and learning how to compete in situations that aren’t always under your control. Those lessons last far beyond the golf course.

🚨 Spots are almost gone!

🏌️ Whispering Willows: ONLY 4 spots left
🏌️ Washtenaw: ONLY 6 spots left

If your junior golfer is planning to play this summer, now is the time to secure their spot before these events fill up.

👇 Tell us in the comments:

Is this your child’s FIRST tournament season or are they a returning KJGT veteran?

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of the Kensington Junior Golf Tour. We look forward to seeing everyone on the course soon!

🚨 WHY TOURNAMENT GOLF FEELS SO HARD and WHY KIDS SHOULD GET STARTED ON THE KJGT 🚨

Special thanks to Will Robins for the analogy… Just fantastic!!

Imagine a wooden plank that’s 30 feet long and 2½ feet wide laying on the ground.

Easy, right?

You’d walk across it without thinking twice.

Now imagine that same plank is 2,000 feet above a skyscraper.

Suddenly your palms are sweating.

Your heart is racing.

You might not even take the first step.

Here’s the crazy part…

👇 NOTHING CHANGED 👇

The plank is the same.

Your skill is the same.

The only thing that changed is the environment.

Tournament golf works exactly the same way.

Many junior golfers think they’re “not good enough” because they struggle in their first tournaments.

The truth?

They simply haven’t learned how to perform at that height yet.

That’s why the Kensington Junior Golf Tour was created.

We don’t throw kids onto a plank 2,000 feet in the air and tell them, “Good luck.”

We help them start at ground level.

Then gradually build confidence, comfort, and experience in a fun, supportive environment where learning comes first.

✅ No tournament experience required

✅ Beginner-friendly atmosphere

✅ Learn how tournaments work

✅ Build confidence under pressure

✅ Develop competitive skills at your own pace

The goal isn’t to create perfect golfers.

The goal is to help young players become comfortable competing so tournament golf feels normal instead of scary.

Every great tournament player started somewhere.

The difference is they kept stepping onto the plank.

⛳ Tournament season is almost here.

Who has a junior golfer ready to take that first step?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Moms in the Kensington Junior Tour family! ❤️

Thank you for the early mornings, late nights, tournament weekends, endless car rides, snack packing, emotional support, patience, and unconditional love you give your families every single day.

We’re also especially grateful for all of you who somehow manage to put up with your husband’s golfing habits… the “quick 9 holes” that turn into 5 hours, the garage full of golf clubs, the constant swing videos at dinner, and the belief that this new driver is finally the one. 😂

You are truly the MVPs behind so many golf families, and we appreciate everything you do more than words can express.

Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your family’s golf journey. We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.

We hope today is filled with love, laughter, relaxation, and maybe even a break from hearing about golf swing mechanics for at least one day. ⛳️

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at the Kensington Junior Golf Tour!

🚨 Tournament Season Is Almost Here… And Spots Are Going FAST 🚨

In less than 2 months, the Kensington Junior Golf Tour kicks off—and families all over Michigan are locking in their spots.

If you’ve been thinking about getting your child into competitive golf… this is your moment.

Here’s why parents love the KJGT👇
⛳ A low-pressure, fun environment (perfect for first-time competitors)
⛳ Learn how to compete, not just practice
⛳ Build confidence, resilience, and social skills
⛳ It gets your junior off the screen and on the course
⛳ A clear pathway from beginner → high school → beyond

On the KJGT, we believe in developing humans—not just swings.
That means helping juniors learn how to adapt, think, and grow through real competition.

⚠️ Spots are filling fast and once events are full… they’re full.

👉 Drop “TOUR” in the comments or message us and we’ll help you get your junior golfer started.

Some more friendly advice for parents as we begin the 2026 golf season:)

The #1 reason kids quit sports is because of the car ride home.

Remember… praise what’s under their control vs. what’s not.

The score is NOT under your child’s control! We promise they’re not trying to play poorly.

This weekend at The Masters Tournament proved something most golfers don’t want to hear…

👉 Talent isn’t the separator.
👉 Character is.

Here’s what we saw under pressure:

• Mark Calcavecchia was reportedly on his cell phone during play at Augusta—a clear breach of etiquette at the most tradition-rich event in golf—which led to him being removed from the grounds.

• Robert MacIntyre hit a poor shot on Hole 15 and immediately reacted by giving his golf ball the finger—letting frustration take over in a moment the world is watching.

• Sergio García slammed his club into a tee marker after a bad shot and then refused to take accountability post-round by skipping media.

These are elite players…

And yet in the biggest moments, character—not skill—became the story.

At BE Golf and the Kensington Junior Golf Tour, we’re building more than swings.

We’re teaching:
✔️ How to respond when things go wrong
✔️ How to compete with respect
✔️ How to own your performance—no excuses

Because no one remembers your score…

But everyone remembers how you acted.

👇
If you’re raising a junior golfer, this matters more than you think.

We’re not just developing better golfers… we’re developing better people.
