After-school golf enrichment program continues to grow in North Fulton County
Atlanta, GA – When George Sigeti started working with TGA Premier Junior Golf in Atlanta three years ago; he never imagined the teaching job would turn into a new career and exciting business opportunity.
“In all of my 40 years in the golf industry, I can honestly say that TGA Premier Junior Golf is the most impressive junior golf program I have witnessed,” said Sigeti. “I have been so blessed the past three years working for TGA and the opportunity it has allowed me to have. I am very excited about the new business and working with the youth of North Fulton County teaching them the game of a lifetime and the life values associated with it.”
Sigeti, who has been an instructor for TGA of North Fulton, has taken full advantage of what Entrepreneur Magazine calls one of the Top 10 most affordable and best franchise deals, by acquiring the North Fulton County TGA business. This existing franchise, previously owned by Chris Knobloch, will continue to grow and expand under the ownership of Sigeti.
“Atlanta is a popular market for TGA programs and we are excited to have George become TGA’s North Fulton owner and representative,” said Joshua Jacobs, founder and CEO of TGA Premier Junior Golf. “Given my strong roots to the Atlanta community through attending Emory University, I look forward to continue growing the TGA programs and impacting the youth of Atlanta by bringing affordable and accessible golf programs directly to area schools through our five-level education based programs.”
Sigeti, a resident of Marietta, Georgia, brings 40 years of experience in the golf industry to TGA. As the owner of the Leaderboard Golf Company from 1980-2002, he provided his professional services of golf club design, fitting, manufacturing, and repair to the most prestigious private clubs in Georgia, as well as many of the top golf equipment manufactures. In 2002 Sigeti became a founding member of the PGA Tour Superstore management team as its Master Clubmaker responsible for the development and training of the PGA Tour Superstores club making and repair departments.
TGA Premier Junior Golf, one of the leading initiatives to grow the game of golf and the only national after-school golf enrichment program in the country, is one of the country’s most unique and fastest growing recreational programs for kids. It has also rapidly become a golden franchise opportunity for self-starters who enjoy working with children in a business venture that provides a unique entry into youth sports, education, and the golf industry.
TGA is the largest national after school program that teaches the fundamentals of the game of golf, its rules, etiquette, and life values, while promoting education for kindergarten students through the eighth grade. Since its inception in six Los Angeles schools in the fall of 2003, the premier junior golf program is now offered nationwide in 2,100 schools reaching 103,000 students from Kindergarten to 8th grade in 21 states.
The TGA enrichment curriculum, developed by PhDs in child and curriculum development, along with PGA and LPGA golf professionals, is a five-level program designed for kids to advance from one level to the next while building self-esteem as well as confidence in terms of education, life skills and character development. The steps also include teaching fundamental math, science, English, and history associated with the program.
“Working with the students is a very full-filling experience. I take great pride in helping them learn and enjoy a wonderful sport that they can participate in for a lifetime, as well as seeing them shine when they tell stories of showing off their new skills and knowledge to their parents, grandparents, and friends,” said Sigeti. “It is also gratifying to help them with the non-golf aspects of the TGA enrichment program, which enhances their character development and social skills.”
