Believes in his game - Believes in himself.

We remember...

Ben Curtis participated in HOJGA tournament programs for five years, 1987-1991.

HOJGA has seen junior golfers excel in tournaments, winning HOJGA scholarships, winning High School, Regional, and State honors, State medalist honors, careers in the Golf Profession, and a major win by a PGA Tour Champion.

Heart of Ohio Junior Golf Association will soon begin its 23nd season teaching and serving area junior golfers in Central Ohio Counties of Crawford, Delaware, Hardin, Marion, Morrow, Union, and Wyandot.

Begun in 1987, HOJGA was organized by a group of Marion County businessmen who recognized a need for a junior golf program. Through the years, the non-profit, all volunteer organization continues to believe that the fundamental lessons of golf are the same as those in life.

Today, HOJGA offers Clubs for kids, Golf Seminars, Golf Camp, 8-Tournament Tour, Year-End Appreciation Scholarship and Award Event to juniors age 9-18.

History has shown that juniors who have played in HOJGA tournaments have led high school golf teams within their areas, and have captured state, individual and team honors, professional honors and status.

HOJGA stands second to none in the ideas and goals of its program by teaching and giving young people opportunities right here in Marion and Central Ohio. HOJGA upholds the integrity of the game of golf, its rules, and challenge to help mold concentration, self-control, and confidence in our area youth - lessons to last a lifetime.
