Past Player of the Year winners
The perpetual “player of the year” trophy (given to the player with the most points at the end of the WJGA season) that resides in the WJGA office is named in memory of a now deceased, long time junior golf supporter, Jack Baty.  Jack was always ready to give his time and wisdom to any junior player wanting it.  His home was on the driving range at Fircrest GC.  He and his wife, Shirley, are held warmly in the heart of WJGA.
