From the 2014 President,
Jerry Fehr
Retiring in January after 21 years as the Executive Director, I am now
in a position to observe the operations of WJGA from a different
perspective. Executive Director Tyler Johnsen is doing a wonderful job,
and has installed many positive changes to improve our organization.
In the brief time that he has been in charge WJGA has gone to a new
computer system that has made the task easier for our loyal Tournament
Directors, and allowed the use of live scoring for many events. He also
introduced a new format for the Junior World State Qualifying that is
less work for our Tournament Directors and better for the players.
Another positive was allowing payment of fees by credit card.
The 2014 season was very demanding with the hosting of the Girls’ Junior
Americas Cup at Walla Walla Country Club on the schedule in addition to
the usual events. We thank the many volunteers who give of their time to
make the WJGA program what it is, one of the best junior programs in the
country.
A special thank you goes to Cyndi Kelly who chaired the very successful
State Championship in Spokane. We look forward to another great year in
2015.

From the 2014 Executive Director,
Tyler Johnsen
What a great year for WJGA, my first as Executive Director, capped by
a fantastic State Championship week in Spokane at Manito G&CC, Hangman
Valley GC and Wandermere GC. A huge thank you to all of our Tournament
Directors who make WJGA possible. Their countless hours of volunteer
efforts are the engine that drives WJGA and we can’t thank them enough.
Also, a special thank you to our 2014 State Tournament Chair, Cyndi
Kelly. What a fantastic State Championship week she put together in
Spokane for all of us.
This summer was an extra busy one for WJGA as we hosted the Girls’
Junior Americas Cup at Walla Walla Country Club the last week of July.
Carol Morgan chaired the event and with all the amazing volunteer
efforts it turned out to be a week to remember.
Congratulations to Sam Warkentin and Olivia Benzin for capturing the
overall State Championship titles and to all of our state champions this
year.
And finally, a special thank you to all of our loyal rules officials and
other volunteers who help make WJGA a special program
