Why Play MJT?
The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) is "the Road to College Golf" in Canada. It is the only junior golf program in the country that offers free college golf consultations and an annual college golf consultation package award. In addition, players are exposed to college coaches via qualifiers for high-level junior golf tournaments.
MJT alumni include PGA Tour player Chris Baryla, Nick Taylor, who was ranked number one in the Golfweek World Amateur Golf Rankings in 2009, Eugene Wong, Junior World Champion 2008 and rated ‘Best Putter – College Player’ by Golf Digest in September 2010, Dustin Zhang, ranked the “Number One Freshman in the US” by GolfStat.com in January 2011, players on the Nationwide and Canadian Tours such as Devin Carrey, Mitch Gillis and Adam Hadwin (multiple winner), in addition to several Canadian Amateur and Junior Champions such as Darren Wallace, Mike Mezei, Kevin Klebe, Mitchell Fox, Eom Ji Park, In-Ah Park, Soo Bin Kim, etc.
The MJT supports academic goals with annual scholarship awards, and is also the only junior golf program in the country which supports alumni’s professional tour aspirations with the MJT Touring Professional Development Fund.
Over and above the high level competition, international opportunities, scholarships and awards, the MJT holds free clinics to introduce boys and girls to the game via the Ford Go Golf! Free Junior Clinics, and conducts the MJT Mini Tour for boys and girls ages 7-13, which introduces playing golf over 9 and 18 holes while teaching basic rules and etiquette.
What will I get as an MJT member?
- Chance to compete in and benefit from the most highly-rated junior golf tournaments in Canada according to player and parent feedback:
"My son played on the MJT tour for all of these years with one goal in mind, and that was to be able to compete at a higher level to gain experience, elevate his game, and to be able to be recognized by Universities. MJT did all three and more for him. The people that he (and I) have met throughout the last 6 years were the best, most professional, dedicated folks we have ever met. Trent is an incredible individual in many ways!! Ryan is now playing for UTSA in San Antonio and competing very well. My sincerest THANKS goes out to you, your organization, Trent, Vince, Murray, Dean, and all the volunteers that have helped my son achieve his dream. Plus everyone else that he has met along the way!! Developing Champions!!" — S.W., AB.
"I thought I would take this opportunity to let you know how much the MJT has meant to me and my golf career ... I want you to know that without a doubt, it was the Maple Leaf Golf Tour that prepared me to be able to compete at a national level in junior golf. Thanks again for all your help and guidance, what you provide to junior golfers is more than just golf tournaments." — M.H., B.C.
"We would just like to extend our sincere thanks for the efforts and dedication you all put into this program. Our son has grown up with this tour and I truly believe the pride we have in him as an individual and a golfer is a direct result of all of your efforts in striving for excellence and truly living up to your mission statement of "Developing champions, in golf and in life. We truly mean these words and encourage any potential sponsors to give these MJT folks a good hard look as they truly are building the future for golf in Canada as well as developing some fine young ladies and men!" — K, I & C.S., MB
