Jerry J. Ransom Pro-Junior-Am Benefits NTPGA Foundation
DALLAS, TEXAS – The second annual Jerry J. Ransom Pro-Junior-Am, a fundraising golf tournament conducted by the Northern Texas PGA for the benefit of the Northern Texas PGA Foundation, was held today at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. The Northern Texas PGA Foundation and Jerry J. Ransom created the event to help raise funds to continue to grow the game of golf in North Texas. The event raised $149,000 this year.
Ransom, who is from Greenville, Texas and
is an avid golfer, has supported the Northern Texas PGA Foundation's
growth of the game initiatives for many years, but wanted to do more to give
back and further support the NTPGA’s initiatives. The funds raised from the
event benefit the Foundation’s broad-based community outreach programs
including the college scholarship program, summer camps, fellowship program and
the junior tour. More than 10,000 kids benefit each year from this support and
the positive life lessons encouraged by the game of golf in North Texas.
The event featured 16 teams consisting of three amateurs, a PGA of America golf
professional and a former or current NTPGA Junior Tour member.
The team consisting of PGA professional Brian Norman and junior golfer Sutton Price, along with amateurs Matt Neyra, Jason Barborak and Cliff Arnold carded a 17-under par, 125, to win the event.
Following the tournament, the names of the junior golfers who participated were placed into a random drawing for a $5,000 scholarship to further their college education. Wade Langley, of Winnsboro, Texas, took home the check and funds will be paid in his name when he heads to college in the fall of 2020. This year, the NTPGA Foundation will award a record of $406,800 in scholarships to students.
A
special thank you goes out to Mr. Ransom and all he has done for junior golfers
in North Texas and the game of golf.

About the NTPGA Foundation
Founded in 1983, the nationally acclaimed Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization, was rebranded in 2019 as the Northern Texas PGA Foundation. The Junior Golf Foundation was established to promote and grow the game of golf to a diverse group of kids in North Texas and instill in them the positive, character developing traits for which the game is so well known. Each year close to 10,000 children and their families were impacted through the Junior Golf Foundation’s full circle of programs and services. The Northern Texas PGA Foundation now reaches a greater audience through four additional pillars including, college scholarships, fellowships, inclusion and military and veterans.
