You guys at FCG just continue to-out do yourselves. The course, staff at the course (of course the boys at PGA West know how to manage a large event, and it showed), rules officials, pace of play, being able to caddie and share the moment with my boys, the photographer's, can't forget them (and photos available on the website, wow) and everything else in between. We play at tourney's all over the country and this was truly the best event so far. I seriously can not think of one single point to criticize. I don't know what else to say but thanks guys, for helping make this summer truly one to put in the memory books. As long as my kids are kids, we'll look forward to the FCG events. See you at the SD Junior Amateur!!! - Gary Olkowski - Colorado My son, Sean, played in the Future Champions World Championships held at the beautiful PGA west golf course held in in La Quinta in July 2011. I can't express how great an experience it was for Sean to play in such a professionally run tournament that had a field as competitive as it was. There were players of many different nationalities there playing for top honors. Being able to actually caddy for him and to share this fantastic 4 days of tournament golf is something to remember. We stayed at the spectacular La Quinta Resort which was a wonderful place to stay, to say the least. The setting, accommodation, the staff , in fact, the whole package will make me stay there again. I cannot say enough about Chris Smeal and Antrone Wiliams and their professional group of staff that make this a truly remarkable experience for everyone participating in this tournament. My son, Sean, my family and myself will be looking forward to the 2012 World Championships this year. Best regards - Gary and Sean Crocker - Westlake Village, CA • My daughter has played Future Golf Events for four years, and the tournaments keep getting better and better. The time and effort speaks volumes to the commitment of Junior Golf in San Diego. Congratulations to Chris and his dedicated staff that makes the venues fun and competitive to golfers worldwide. Thanks, and keep up the great work . Sincerely - Marc DeMatteo - San Diego, CA • This is bringing back the nice memories and experiance we could make on our vacation at La Quinta and the FCG World Championship. Alexandra enjoyed very much your well organized turnament. The courses were great and the enviroment spactecular. Of cource she was thrilled about her first hole in one and the nice flag she received for it. The competition with all the good playing girls in her age is a great memory for her. Please say Hello to Chris. Hope we will see us again. When we came back to Germany Alexandra played the German Team Championchip with her Club-Team (Golf und Landclub Berlin Wannsee) and could make the Silver Medal age up to 14. Best regards from Berlin - Michael and Family The 2011 FCG World Championship was the most fun tournament I've ever played in. The PGA West courses are world class, challenging and fun, the staff is very friendly and professional, and it was awesome getting to meet so many great golfers and families from around the world (I got to play and became friends with golfers who came all the way from Australia, Thailand and Canada). Thank you FCG for putting on such a great event! Nicholas Kumamoto - 2011 Boys 11-12 Champion • I have watched Future Champions Golf become THE premiere Jr Golf tour in San diego county and I would venture to say California. If you want to elevate your game to the next level, this is the tour you want to play in. Chris and the FCG staff run a top notch program with a genuine concern for the players and the game. The World Championship draws in world class competition and has an edge about it you just can't describe. We look forward to the caliber of competition and the quality of the experience during the World Championships every year!!!
