Golf: JAGS set of host golf tournament

CITY OF INDUSTRY - The Junior Amateur Golf Scholars has scheduled a

two-day golf tournament at the California Country Club Dec. 21-22.

The December tournament is just one of the many events that JAGS will

put on in an effort to assist qualified college-bound men and women with

financial assistance.

A nonprofit organization, JAGS will be hosting one- and two-day golf

tournaments throughout Southern California all year long.

In addition to the tournaments, JAGS will offer a year-round golf

program to help improve mental an physical skills for youngsters ages

13-18.

Also, JAGS will provide educational seminars for its members and

parents covering topics such as NCAA/NAIA rules, USGA rules of golf,

college scholarship opportunities, how to promote junior golfers to

college coaches, nutrition, exercise, mental aspects of golf and

manufacturer’s product demo clinics.

Annually, JAGS will honor one or more Players of the Year for their

outstanding educational and golf achievements along with announcing a

JAGS Western All-Star team.

Accomplishments of all JAGS members will be available to collegiate

golf coaches, reported to local and national golf media and to other

junior golf organizations.

The organization is still looking for sponsorships from corporations,

individuals and other organizations to reduce tournament fees for junior

golfers.

Among the Board of Directors for JAGS is Big Canyon Country Club Head

Pro, PGA Professional Director and Daily Pilot Hall of Famer Kelly Manos.
