| <p>The purpose of the American Junior Golf Association is to provide positive life | |
| experiences for aspiring junior golfers through competitive golf, while setting high | |
| standards to preserve the integrity and traditions of the game. By remaining committed to | |
| this purpose, the AJGA has built a reputation for providing the best exposure vehicle in | |
| which to gain college golf scholarships.</p> | |
| <p>For the past 22 years, the AJGA has been dedicated to this purpose. The Association is | |
| the largest organization of its kind, with a membership (boys and girls, ages 13-18) of | |
| more than 4,800 junior golfers from all 50 states and more than 25 foreign countries. </p> | |
| <p>Since 1978, the AJGA has actively pursued its mission by establishing a series of | |
| national junior golf tournaments, giving exceptional junior golfers the opportunity to | |
| develop and showcase their competitive skills. Hundreds of the nation's college golf | |
| coaches receive results of each AJGA tournament and qualifier.</p> | |
| <p>The AJGA is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization established under guidelines set by the | |
| Internal Revenue Service. Contributions to the Association are thus tax deductible by | |
| individuals and corporations alike.</p> | |
| <p>The American Junior Golf Association is governed by a board of directors elected by the | |
| membership. Members of the board, headed by Chairman of the Board J. R. Digger Smith, | |
| serve as volunteers at their own expense and help guide the AJGA's activities.</p> | |
| <p><font color="#800000" size="4"><strong>The History of the AJGA</strong></font></p> | |
| <p>The AJGA conducted its first national junior tournament in August 1978 at Inverrary | |
| Country Club in Lauderhill, Fla. Appropriately named the Tournament of Champions, the | |
| event was one of two tournaments held in the inaugural season.</p> | |
| <p>The second event, the American Junior Classic, followed in November at Innisbrook | |
| Resort in Tarpon Springs, Fla. At this event, the first AJGA All-American Team was named. | |
| Headlining the team were Willie Wood, Jim Gallagher Jr., Mark Calcavecchia, Jodie Mudd, | |
| Penny Hammel and Jenny Lidback.</p> | |
| <p>Over the years, the AJGA has watched many of its alumni find success in the college and | |
| professional ranks. In 1998 and 1999, AJGA alumni combined for more than 50 victories on | |
| the PGA and LPGA Tours.</p> | |
| <p>In 1989, Titleist and FootJoy Worldwide signed on as the AJGA's national sponsor and | |
| has been the catalyst to the Association's on-going success.</p> | |
| <p>PGA and LPGA Tour veterans Andrew Magee and Michelle McGann are currently serving as | |
| AJGA co-National Chairpersons. This marks a return to their roots, as both players | |
| participated in the AJGA as juniors.</p> | |
| <p><font color="#800000" size="4"><strong>AJGA Headquarters</strong></font></p> | |
| <p>The AJGA National Headquarters was built in the spring of 1982 at Horseshoe Bend | |
| Country Club in Roswell, Georgia thanks to a generous contribution from current Chairman | |
| of the Board, J.R. "Digger" Smith. The AJGA can be reached in Roswell at the | |
