AJGA Golf Academy of America Preseason Junior Series
Apr 3, 2009
The Golf World Preseason Junior at Marshallia Ranch, March 27-29, at Vandenberg AFB, CA was one of eight events being held as part of the Golf Academy of America Preseason Junior Series. The Golf Academy of America Preseason Junior Series is a series designed specifically for first-time AJGA members or those members who have not yet been accepted to or participated in an AJGA event in the current calendar year and/or the previous calendar year.
Attendees from Golf Academy of America included Scott Weedman, Admissions Associate and Kevin Neisch, Placement Director of Career Services. They were able to speak to the young golfers and their parents about the opportunities that the Golf Academy had to offer.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest Association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
