About

THE ORGANIZATION

The York County Junior Golf Association (YCJGA) was established in 1980 and officially became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2002. The organization is dedicated to providing kids ages 8 – 18 an opportunity to learn the game of golf, hone their skills, practice in a tour environment and be eligible for scholarships as they age out of the tour or graduate high school.

We provide affordable opportunities for junior golfers to learn the game in a competitive, yet supportive environment, while promoting character development consistent with our core values.

We are committed to upholding the high-quality standards and sportsmanship that are the cornerstones of the game while giving young golfers a summer activity that will advance and enhance their play on their school’s golf team and/or give them a better chance of earning a spot on the team.

Our primary focus is providing golf education and experience for York County youths and we do so with a two cornerstone programs:

1) The YCJGA Tour – a professionally conducted series of eight (8) 18-hole tournaments held at different courses in the York area from mid-June until late July. Players compete in 5 different divisions including a 9-Hole division. The tour is open for boys and girls ages 8 – 18. Prizes are awarded for the top 3 players in the 18-hole divisions at each event. Top players have the opportunity to earn a spot at our season ending “Ryder Cup” Tournament.

2) The Next Gen Program – We are excited to be partnering with PGA Professional Nate Blanchette and the Legacy Golf Academy at Heritage Hills to enhance our intro to golf Next Gen Golf Program for boys and girls ages 6 to 12 who have no experience (yet) with the game. From how to properly hold a club, swing and putt to sportsmanship and game rules, the Next Gen Golf Program hosted by Legacy Golf Academy 3-Session golf introduction opportunity is an EXCELLENT choice for your beginner child!
