((The season is broken down into a spring, summer and fall tour. Each golfer in 5 different age groups compete in a tournament format.
Junior golfers from as far away as Blacksburg and Floyd take part in the program.)) ((ROBY ROBERSON/HUNTING HILLS PRO:)) ((As many as 112 kids have come out to participate. Club pros have opened their courses throughout the valley and they even chip in to help win necessary.
But this junior program is about more than golf.)) ((LIZ KASZA/PARENT:)) ((ROBERSON:)) ((Tiger Woods has brought a lot of attention to junior golf throughout the United States.
But for some of the juniors learning the game is a family affair.)) ((MITCH CLARK/11 YEAR OLD GOLFER:)) ((ROY STANLEY:))
