FROM THE DESK OF OUR
Executive Director
Dear Reader,
As 2017 comes to a close, we are excitedly preparing for the 2018 season. Over
the past year we saw over 15,000 rounds of tournament golf played by our 2,055
members. It’s incredible to think that the majority of these rounds happened in a
span of three months!
We are proud of the growth and the number of events we are able to offer our
members, but it is not possible without the generousity of people such as yourself.
We understand that many of you already contribute very generously to many worthy
charities and causes, but we ask that you also consider supporting the IJGA during
this time of giving. Your gift would not only help the IJGA to accomplish our mission
of creating “Better People through Junior Golf,” but also makes you a partner in
ensuring the continuing success and growth of the association. Donations to the
IJGA Annual Fund can be made online or by check. The IJGA is a 501(c)3 organization;
therefore, your commitment to the IJGA is fully tax deductible.
Inside this issue, you will find how three siblings have raised money for the IJGA
through the AJGA’s Leadership Links Program, the invitation criteria for the Medinah
Shriners Junior Invitational, and so much more!
As you prepare for the upcoming holiday season, we extend our best wishes to you
and your family! Thank you for taking the time to flip through The Hole Story.
Yours Sincerely,
JORDAN ABDEL-HAQ
Executive Director, IJGA
