Chris & Patricia Burns Junior Golf Foundation

CHRIS BURNS

Chris Burns was a Hall of Fame PGA instructor who focused his entire life and career on kids and junior golf.

In the last few years of Chris’ life, a few of his junior golfers got together and formed the

Chris and Patricia Burns Junior Golf Foundation.

We do our best to honor Chris’ legacy by continuing to pour into Junior Golf every chance that we get. We host an annual Golf Tournament and Dinner to help fund the foundation. We focus on kids K-12 to help introduce them to the game of golf.
