The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is one of the top 10 media markets (radio, television, and print) and one of the top 10 Junior Golf markets in the United States yet media coverage of High School and Competitive Junior Golf in North Texas is virtually non-existent. Compared to the media coverage provided to other High School sports, such as Football, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Baseball, and Softball, which get regular attention in both major newspapers, The Dallas Morning News and The Fort Worth Star-Telegram and on local network and cable television, HS and Competitive Junior Golf is literally left out the the cold. The rare occasion golf is mentioned is only when a major event takes place in the Metroplex like High School playoffs (District, or if an area team goes to Regionals or State) or when a National event is played here locally, such the AJGA or USGA. There are no High School rankings in the local newspapers unlike most other High School sports. Over the years several of the top College and Professional golfers have grown up in DFW and played junior golf and high school golf locally. From a High School and Competitive Junior Golf perspective, the sport goes virtually unnoticed.

Junior Golf Monthly Magazine is designed to fill the void left by local media in regards to Competitive Junior Golf and High School Golf. It will focus on the "best of the best" of High School and Junior Golf and give recognition to a group of student-athletes that deserve to be acknowledged and are sorely overlooked. Junior Golfers, their parents and grandparents will finally have a source of information and a forum to be recognized and advertisers will have an affordable, effective vehicle to reach a highly coveted demographic group, parents of competitive Junior Golfers and their grandparents. Combine Junior Golf Monthly with Junior Golf Radio and it's time to put DFW area junior golf on the map!

Junior Golf Monthly is headed up by diverse group with extensive experience in the following areas: Sales and Marketing, Project Management, Golf Retail, Golf Instruction, HS Golf Coaching, Publishing;  specifically golf specialty niche publications, Entrepreneurship, and Golf Tournament Management. They all share one common interest, a passion for the great game of golf.

Bobby Minor-President/Publisher Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur Bobby has almost 20 years in Sales and Marketing. He is a professional speaker and the author of the book, Dream Big, Win Big. He has shared the stage with speaking legends like Zig Ziglar and Les Brown and has been interviewed on National and International radio. He has created new profitable divisions for Fortune 500 companies and had an outstanding career in sales and sales management. In 2001, he created a media kit on his iMac, began selling advertising, and sold enough ads to begin printing North Texas Junior Golfer Magazine. As a one-man show, selling advertising, writing editorial, covering events, laying out the magazine, and distributing it once it was printed, he still managed to fill a void left by local media and find the time to expand into South Texas, Central Texas, and Central Florida. In 2003 he co-founded the Young Guns Junior Golf Tour and over a two-year period conducted over 40 profitable, competitive 36-hole Junior Golf events at resorts across Texas and Louisiana. In July of 2005, he sold his interest in the YGJGT and NTJG to a partner to pursue a full-time speaking and consulting business. His oldest son Caleb is a sophomore at R.L. Paschal HS in Fort Worth and plays varsity golf for the reigning State 5A Champions.
