BE THE WHY'S
JUNIOR CLASSIC

The morning starts with excitement and curiosity. Young players stepping onto the green, their eyes wide, clubs in hand, ready to learn and have fun. The Junior Classic is more than a tournament—it’s an introduction to possibility.

Through guided clinics, skill-building, and playful competition, kids experience golf as a tool for growth. Patience, discipline, integrity, and resilience aren’t just lessons—they’re values learned one swing at a time. And in those moments on the course, young players gain confidence, find joy in achievement, and begin to see what they’re capable of—on the course and in life.

For the next generation, this tournament isn’t just a game—it’s a stepping stone toward purpose, opportunity, and growth.

We’re not just teaching golf—we’re shaping lives.

BEING THE WHY

It starts with a simple idea: what if every young person had someone in their corner? Someone to guide them, support them, and show them what’s possible.

Be The Why exists to create those moments. Through mentorship, programs, and purpose-driven experiences like the Erickson Classic and Junior Classic, we aim to help young people discover direction, build confidence, and develop character. Golf is the medium, but the impact goes far beyond the course. It teaches patience, integrity, focus, and resilience—qualities that shape not just athletes, but individuals ready to navigate life’s challenges.

Every event, every round, and every interaction is designed to spark growth. To open doors. To give kids—and communities—a shot at opportunity, support, and purpose.

We’re not just hosting events—we’re building futures.
