GDYGA
Thank you!
Our
annual GDYGA Junior National Tournament held July 14-15 at
Kittyhawk Golf Course in Dayton was a huge success. All the
golfers conducted themselves in the truest spirit of good
sportsmanship. Our first-class volunteers kept everything moving
in a timely and efficient manner. The dedication and commitment
shown by the parents and instructors was second-to-none. The
weather cooperated, and a good time was had by all. Collectively,
we have proved once again that junior golf is alive and well in
Dayton! We cannot thank each of you enough. We look forward
to seeing each of you on July 11 -13, 2008 for the next edition of our
annual Jr. National Tournament.
Again, thanks so much for a great tournament!

The Dayton Youth Golf Academy (DYGA) is a non-profit
organization founded in 1989. It's all volunteer staff teaches
girls and boys from age 8 to 18 to play golf and to have the
integrity, courtesy, and mental discipline, found in learning
the game of golf.
As a family based organization; fund raising events, private
donations, and minimal membership fees finance our entire
program.
DYGA welcomes children of all races, creeds and economic
backgrounds. They learn the rules of the game, the customs and
courtesies on the course, respect for the individual, and to
always be supportive of another's best efforts.
Lessons are taught by knowledgeable, volunteer instructors
with the help of Dayton area PGA professionals.
Students are encouraged to participate in junior tournaments
throughout the Midwest. With the generous support of the City of
Dayton, in the use of it's Northwest Recreation Center, Madden
and Kittyhawk facilities, the practice and learning schedule
keeps participants busy year round.
While this current schedule is well structured, the full
potential of this program is restricted. DYGA hopes to develop
and maintain an active, year round golf facility for youth. This
would provide a driving range, putting greens, practice bunkers,
indoor practice areas, classrooms, adequate offices, a golf shop
and other areas normally associated with learning golf and an 18
hole golf course designed specifically for youths to learn how
to play the game. Most importantly, we'll offer access to the
game, thereby encouraging individual growth.
DONATIONS TO SUPPORT THE YOUTH AND
PROGRAM ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS.
