About Atlanta
Junior Golf
The Atlanta Junior Golf Association (AJGA) is a
non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code and gains its funding through
memberships, sponsorships and contributions. Contributions to the
AJGA are thus tax deductible by individuals and corporations
alike. The AJGA is governed by a Board of Directors (Board) who
are leading area businessmen, golf enthusiasts and golf
professionals. Members of the Board serve as volunteers and help
guide the activities of the AJGA.
Since its inception in 1974, the Atlanta Junior
Golf Association (initially the DeKalb Junior Golf Association)
has gained prominence as one of the premier junior golf programs
in the nation. The purpose of the Association is to provide an
environment where a junior golfer, male or female ages 7-18, can
enjoy golf and progress at his/her own rate from beginner to a
proficient level while promoting and preserving the traditions and
integrity of the game. By being committed to this purpose, the
AJGA continues to build its reputation as being one of the best in
preparing junior golfers for the future.
