The San Diego County Junior Golf Association, respected for pioneering junior golf programs since 1952, is committed to enriching the lives of youth through the game of golf.
Over the decades, the association has helped influence the lives of thousands of San Diegans with later success as business and civic leaders, parents, and individual citizens.
That includes current East County youth.
