One of the highlights of the golf season for the Jacksonville Area Golf Association doesn't have anything to do with birdies and bogeys.
Money is raised through JAGA events and donations from member clubs.
The recipients are children or grandchildren of members or employees of a JAGA member club on the First Coast. Each was sponsored by their club's JAGA director. “This is the result of the great work JAGA directors have done over the course of the year in raising funds and identifying so many excellent scholar candidates at their respective clubs," saidthe scholarship trustee."The caliber of students we interviewed was very impressive. They, no doubt, will go on to be leaders in Jacksonville or wherever else their lives and careers take them.”
Since the JAGA Scholarship Trust was created in 1974, around $1.8 million has been awarded to 375 students. Some have gone on to careers in golf such as club managers or superintendents, and others have played on professional tours or gone on to careers outside of the golf industry.
