A game to love.
A community to belong to.
Junior golf grows when young players have a place to compete, people who believe in them, and a reason to come back.

Coach. Mentor.
Advocate for junior golf.
More opportunity.
More young golfers in the game.
At the heart of Central Valley Junior Series is founder Mike Schy and a clear ambition: make tournament golf more accessible to junior players and their families.
Mike’s work in the Central Valley connects coaching with competitive opportunity. His efforts to build affordable junior tournaments reflect a belief at the center of this series: more young golfers should have the chance to experience the game beyond the practice range.
CVJS brings that purpose to the course through a community built around competition, encouragement and respect for the game.
02 / A coaching connection
Valley roots.
A remarkable journey.
Long before Bryson DeChambeau became a major champion, Mike Schy was one of his formative coaches in California’s Central Valley. Their work together is part of the region’s golf story, connecting a young player’s curiosity with a coach’s commitment to learning.
That history offers a meaningful perspective for junior golf: every player’s development starts somewhere, with time to practice, room to learn and people willing to help.
