Junior Golf and the PAGCEach year we ask members to include a junior golf contribution when the send in their membership renewal form. A large percentage of the membership contributes to this fund each year. During the year, the Board of Directors allocates the money contributed to various Junior Golf programs. In the past years, we have purchased monthly play cards for both the Gunn and Palo Alto golf teams and approved a contribution to the Celebration of Jr. Golf, a tournament which supports the incredible program run by the YMCA for kids in East Palo Alto. This program is always looking for those clubs which you have in the basement, particularly if they were used by your kids before you got them that set of full size Calloways. Just leave them at the shop; the "Y" will know what to do with them. We all know that golf is getting expensive; the monthly play cards for juniors have gone up significantly as a result of the general increase in fees. And of course, the club will accept gifts to the Jr. Golf fund at any time in the year. However, you are strongly urged to think about helping out a little more in this area when your yearly renewal comes along. And though our funds are limited, the Board will certainly listen to suggestions for other programs which might need some assistance.
