PARTNERSHIP WITH MEXGOLF AND
THE MEXICAN GOLF FEDERATION (MGF)
IJGA entered into a strategic partnership with
MexGolf and the Mexican Golf Federation (FMG)
which was announced on 15 November at the
“COPA VALLE MEXICO” championship which
hosted the best junior players in the country.
280+ players participated in 2 courses: Club
Vallescondido (14 – 18) and Club Campestre
Chiluca (7 – 13).
6 IJGA BG and 8 BGGA La Loma students
participated. Jose Cristobal Islas from BGGA La
Loma made us proud by winning the 14/18 boys
division Championship.
This partnership signifies an ongoing
commitment by IJGA to support junior golf in
Mexico.
Since its inception, IJGA La Loma has been at the
forefront of junior golf development in Mexico.
Our approach to athletic training for golfers is to
start with the end in mind. Once we understand
the student-athlete’s goals and aspirations, a plan
or “blueprint” is developed to create the building
blocks of success in all areas. The efficiency of
4
the plan is dependent on the assessment process
to identify strengths and areas of opportunity.
This is no ordinary Academy experience. It is
unique and bespoke, created for the individual,
allowing our student-athletes to be their best, on
and off the course.
IJGA is committed to creating opportunities
for junior golfers globally to pursue their dream
of playing college golf in the US. We have
agreed to the Mexican Federation awarding four
scholarships to IJGA Old Carolina, to talented
junior golfers from Mexico who require financial
assistance to pursue their dreams.
Jonathan Yarw3ood, Director of Golf at IJGA
Old Carolina, held a clinic, attended by FMG’s
counselors, club members and coaches.
Jonathan demonstrated the use of technology
and how it helps to improve the technical aspect
of the game.
