The Greater Jacksonville Junior Championship got underway this past Monday at Eagle Harbor Golf Club. Nearly 60 players took on the challenges in the hunt for the title as the “CITY CHAMPION”. As you may be aware, the NFJG TOUR hosts as many as 40 events annually including TOUR and special events. Great events, one after the other, but there is only one “CITY CHAMPIONSHIP” and that is the “Greater Jacksonville Junior Championship”. Next season this title will be changed to the “FIRST COAST JUNIOR”. This event once known as the “JAGA Junior” should be played by every top junior player and those aspiring to rise to the top. The GJJC was once again sponsored by the men of JAGA and run by the NFJG TOUR. A great combination indeed! Many thanks to JAGA Past President Fred Seely, Jeff Adams, Tournament Director for JAGA and our own JAGA Treasurer and Administrative Assistant Kevin Glynn for their outstanding support for this event. The mission of JAGA is to grow the game of golf for our youth and our adult golfing community. Their hope is that our junior golfers will continue their amateur golfing path through JAGA. Did you know JAGA gives out junior scholarship awards? Well they do as well as run great golfing events in our area. Check them out on the website at www.jaxareagolf.org
