SWFJGA at a Glance
Our scholarship program funds are received through various avenues. Funds are raised through Tournaments like the Adult/Juniors and Nolen Henke/ Patty Berg Junior Master and Pro-Am and from generous donations from individuals and organizations like the South Florida PGA Foundation. Without the continued support of Cypress Lake Golf Club and so many other local golf courses we could not be able to award these scholarships on an annual basis and provide a great environment for our area junior golfers. If you or your business would like to make a donation to SWFJGA, please contact Barb Kursh at barb@races2run.com.

SWFJGA Child Sexual Abuse Policy
For the safety of every child: No volunteer or staff member should ever be alone with a participant. If necessary to be away from the group activity, volunteers/staff are to make sure that there is another volunteer or staff member present at all times when being around a single junior. Volunteers cannot accompany a child to the bathroom or secluded areas alone under any circumstances. Out of program contact between participants and staff or volunteers is discouraged.
“SWFJGA is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to providing tournament golf venues for developing players. We have serviced Southwest Florida for over 40 years.”

FOR FOUR DECADES
OVER 3,000 JUNIORS HAVE PLAYED IN THE SWFJGA
The continued growth of golf is essential through today’s junior golfers in order to develop our next generation of players in the next 10 to 20 years. These kids will be your next club members, business owners, teachers, and neighbors. Therefore, our commitment as a junior golf program is to continue making this game fun, affordable, and available to all kids.
