Bob Risley Memorial Fund for Junior Golf

Thendara Golf Club has a longstanding tradition of encouraging and supporting young golfers. In recent years, programs such as junior clinics and the PGA Junior League have continued that commitment by providing meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, compete, and develop a lifelong love of the game. Established in Bob Risley’s memory, the Bob Risley Memorial Fund for Junior Golf helps further this mission by reducing financial barriers to participation, making it possible for more young golfers throughout the region to take part in the PGA Junior League and other junior golf programs at Thendara Golf Club.

Supporting this fund is a meaningful way to honor Bob Risley’s legacy of youth development, mentorship, and lifelong passion for golf. Through the generosity of donors, future generations will have the opportunity to experience the same joy, lessons, and friendships that the game brought to Bob throughout his life.
