The 2025 Long Beach Jr Golf Awards Dinner was more than a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the players, families, and one extraordinary leader whose impact will echo for generations.
Held at Heartwell Golf Course, the evening honored the achievements of junior golfers across Long Beach, spotlighting rising talent, sportsmanship, and community spirit. But this year’s dinner carried special weight: it marked the final official event for Lisa Georgeson, who is retiring after 22 remarkable years at the helm of the Long Beach Jr Golf Program.
Lisa’s legacy is woven into every fairway and friendship this program has fostered. A member of the Long Beach Golf Hall of Fame, she has shaped not only the future of junior golf but the very culture of the sport in Long Beach. Her leadership, warmth, and tireless dedication have touched thousands of young golfers, many of whom returned to honor her with standing ovations and emotional tributes.
“Lisa didn’t just run a program — she built a family,” said one longtime coach. “She gave kids a place to grow, compete, and belong.”
The evening featured awards for standout performances,and personal growth. But the loudest applause came during Lisa’s farewell speech, where she reflected on two decades of memories, milestones, and the magic of watching young golfers find their swing — and their voice.
As the Long Beach Jr Golf Program looks ahead to its next chapter, Lisa’s influence will remain its foundation. Her retirement is not an ending, but a legacy in motion — carried forward by the very players she inspired.
