you seen the
JGA Promotional Video?
The
Junior Golf
Association was established in 1987 with the purpose of providing quality
golf experiences for area juniors at affordable rates. Early fundraisers by
Jim Roschek and John Block laid the foundation for the JGA Scholarship
Fund. In recent years, the JGA has supported all tournaments,
instruction, administrative costs and Scholarship donations solely on entry
fees. In order to expand programs, offer more Scholarships and keep entry
fees low, it’s time to ask for your help. Please support one of the
programs in this email, or contact us for other ways to help!

(offer
valid through 12/31/08)
U.S. Kids Golf is the preferred club of
the JGA offering equipment for beginners (Ultralight Series) and advanced
players (Tour Series).
"Successful junior programs begin with
equipment that is exactly the right length for the player. Kids grow 2
1/2" per year, so it is essential that they are fit for clubs every
season. Teaching is made easier and a young player’s performance
improves significantly by having clubs that are the correct length."
If you know your junior’s height and ability, the
color-coded fitting chart below will help you determine the recommended set
to use. Grand Prairie Golf Course has many sets in stock and will be able to
handle your special orders with ease. Contact Dean at 388-4447 or by
replying to this email for
pricing, fitting, questions, or to place an order.
