GreatLIFE Junior Tour 🔴⚪️
Powered by the E.B. Foundation 🔵🟢

Registration is open for the 2025 GreatLIFE Junior Tour, powered by the E.B. Foundation! The mission of the GreatLIFE Junior Tour continues to be to enrich the lives of junior golfers in the Sioux Falls community through the building of relationship and the competitive spirit. Focusing on creating a welcoming environment, The GreatLIFE Junior Tour is open to all junior golfers wanting to gain competitive experience.

This year's Tour will include 10 events held throughout all of our GreatLIFE facilities culminating in our Tour Championship that will be held at Willow Run Golf Course. New to 2025, all GreatLIFE Junior Tour memberships will include a "Swag Bag" that will be handed to players at their first event.

New to 2025! The GreatLIFE Junior Tour is excited to announce its partnership with the E.B. Foundation! The E.B. Foundation is an organization whose mission is to provide golf equipment, accessories, instruction, and support to empower youth to thrive on and off the course. The E.B Foundation pays tribute to Elliot Batcheller's memory by providing children with invaluable opportunities for learning, growth, and the development of life skills through the medium of golf.

The E.B.Cup: The newly named E.B. Cup is similar to the FedEX Cup on the PGA Tour. Players will receive points based on how they finish in each tournament. The leading point winner in each age division (boys and girls) at the end of the year will be declared the E.B. Cup Champion for that division. Champions receive a trophy and their name on a banner that hangs in the GreatLIFE Golf Academy.

GEN2 ⚫️⚪️

GEN2 is the third stop on the Junior Development Roadmap and the start of our intermediate level programming. Meant for junior players with more experience and playing ability, GEN2 is meant to help bridge the gap from our GreatLIFE Jr. Golf Camps to our long-term development program, the NextGENERATION Golf Academy. Our innovative class structure helps to 1) reinforce topics learned in previous courses while 2) developing golf skills necessary to hit better golf shots and shoot lower scores.

Our curriculum includes intermediary mechanical swing instruction in both an individual and group format as well as building a competitive mindset through engaging gameplay. Classes also include course management and strategy techniques to assist students in learning how to “play the game” of golf and aid in shooting lower scores.
