The Big Island Junior Golf Association (BIJGA) was founded in 2002 with its primary goal as promoting life
skills through the game of golf. To achieve its goals, the BIJGA has developed a program to provide children of
different age and skill levels opportunities to play golf. Participants develop fundamental golfing skills at the
various clinics organized by the BIJGA as well as learn about themselves. Participants not only discover their
physical and emotional peaks, but also learn about their physical and emotional limits. When they decide to
play in golf tournaments organized by the BIJGA, participants learn to make decisions in an environment of
competition – best of all, while they are learning they are having fun.
For the serious members, the Big Island Jr Golf Association can also help participants understand the sometimes
confusing and complicated procedures required to compete in Statewide and even National Junior Golf
Tournaments.
