The SWFJGA would like to invite all parties to find out just what the Southwest Florida Junior Golf Association is all about. This site also provides an avenue for those who are members to keep up on recent developments.

The SWFJGA is celebrating its 34th year of accomplishments. The programs and goals are designed to provide our Juniors with the opportunity to experience golf under tournament conditions and at the same time, the Juniors are learning the Rules of Golf, building individual character, integrity, meeting new friends and developing sportsmanship. All of this, while having fun! The program runs for three months out of the summer season. There are seven weekly tournaments that are held on Mondays at different locations throughout the five counties served by SWFJGA. Due to the devotion and generosity of the local golf courses and the support of all the Golf Professionals, the Juniors will have an opportunity to play some of the finest golf courses in Southwest Florida.

The Southwest Florida Junior Golf Association is extremely proud of its prestigious scholarship program offered to its Juniors. To date, our scholarship programs have assisted over 200 Juniors in achieving their goal of attending the college of their choice. Southwest Florida Junior Golf Association has given away more than $150,000.00 over the last 18 years and we look forward to assisting other Juniors over the many years to come. Juniors that participate in the scholarship program must have played within the organization for a minimum of three years and participated in at least three SWFJGA events in their senior year. All participants must carry a minimum 3.0 grade point average or better.

The only responsibility of the Junior is to file the required paperwork with the South West Florida Junior Golf Association. In the year 2006, the Southwest Florida Junior Golf Association was proud to present to 11 Junior Golfers, with their initial scholarships, which totaled $11,000.

Our scholarship program funds are received through various avenues, the majority of which are raised by organizing fund raising tournaments such as our annual Adult/Junior Tournament and by working closely with local businesses and other organizations for donations.

We also organize and supervise the Nolan Henke/ Patty Berg Invitational Golf Tournament. This is one of our biggest fund-raisers and social events of the year. All monies received from this event go directly to the Junior Scholarship Program. This three-day Tournament is sanctioned by Golf Week which gives points to the winners. The Nolan Henke/Patty Berg tournament features a Pro-Am golf fund raiser.
Various types of sponsorship, from tee signs to luncheon sponsorships, are available for this great event. Anyone interested in assisting us with this wonderful event may contact us directly. All assistance is always very much appreciated.
