YDP NEWS
BEN’s BLURB
The 2018 YDP season was successful for a number
of reasons. This year we changed up events
and introduced some new facilities to the IJGA
Schedule. I thought every facility we went to this
season was overwhelmingly pleased and that is all
thanks to our IJGA membership. I tried something
new this year with “Ben’s Blurb” and I hope that
provided everyone with an informative update
every two weeks. I cannot thank each and every
member enough for their support throughout the
season. This was a season full of beautiful days
for golf and some very wet and rainy days. As
tough as it can be for everyone throughout these
days, the flexibility of our members and their
parents was much appreciated.

With one YDP season under my belt already,
I felt like I was more than prepared for 2018
and I couldn’t be happier with how the season
turned out! It was refreshing to see so many
young kids out there playing golf, no matter the
event. Though 9-hole events are geared more
for beginners and Junior Elite Events for more
experienced players, we saw a wide range of skill
and interest levels. We even saw a large amount
of new members experiencing tournament golf.
I truly hope all YDP members had an amazing
experience this season and I wish the best to
those that will be stepping up into the Playing
Member Division next season. We will continue to
provide the best events we possibly can and wish
everyone the best this winter!
Please feel free to reach out to me with any
suggestions or comments from this past season
and we hope to see you again in 2019!
