How can my kids get started?
WJGA is a competitive organization and does not offer golf instruction. Free golf clinics are sponsored by the Professional Golfers Association
in many cities around the state.
Camps and clinics that are open to the public, are held
at some golf clubs. Also, some parks and recreation districts offer
beginning programs. Call your local golf professional for information or
contact the PNWPGA section office at: (800) 688-4653 or
