A youth movement seems to be under way in professional golf with young players making their mark on the PGA tour. Many of those players begin their careers as young teenagers playing in with the American Junior Golf Association. The AJGA helps the teenagers hone their skills while reminding them that they are still, in essence, kids. Game rooms with ping pong and air hockey tables, glow-in-the-dark putting challenges, ice cream socials and other age appropriate activities are standard on the AJGA. Players like Jordan Spieth, Grayson Murray and Andrew Knox are all moving on to top notch college programs and have already played in PGA and Nationwide tour events. Sports Illustrated took a look at the AJGA at the Thunderbird International in Scottsdale, Arizona which was played on Grayhawk Golf Club, home to a PGA Tour event.
