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. Golf camps and clinics, 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

What district am I in?

The district you play in is determined by the golf course you are a member of, or the course at which you play the most often. To determine what district you are in - click on the course district directory and find the name of your golf course. The corresponding district number is listed beside each course name.
