Paradise Junior

Our organization was founded with a goal of being able to grow the game of golf by making it fun, competitive, friendly, and most of all affordable. The goal has remained constant, giving juniors the opportunity to play and compete without burdening them with exorbitant entry fees.

We strive to provide opportunities for the growth and development of young athletes by reinforcing positive influences, self-confidence, self-esteem, and the ability to excel on and off the golf course. Through participation, we are dedicated to educating and motivating each junior, while encouraging commitment, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun through the game of golf.

We began awarding 2 scholarships of $500 each in 2016 to area high school seniors. Our efforts have grown, and we have now given 56 scholarships totaling $50,000. With our Director Tony retiring at the conclusion of the 2025 summer season, we will be providing $20,000 worth of scholarships to high school juniors and seniors during our final Annual Scholarship Fundraising Golf Tournament scheduled in May. Tony’s relentless pursuit to grow the game of golf by making it fun, competitive, friendly, and most of all affordable will be missed by so many in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. We appreciate everyone’s support over the last 9 years and hope you will support us in making this final year our best one yet! As Tony always says, “See you on the course!”
