The 1st Annual

Battle of the Restaurants

Golf Tournament Fundraiser

About the event:

The Battle of the Restaurants is a golf outing to benefit junior golf.  The event is not only a fundraiser; it is an opportunity to play team golf, while representing their restaurant and trying to get their name and the restaurants name on the permanent history trophy.  The Junior Golfers’ Association of America, a non-profit organization, was formed to promote junior golf.  The JGA of America will to promote junior golf by providing instruction and course time for all juniors including the underprivileged and the handicapped.  There will be at least one annual scholarship. Also, the JGA of America will provide a higher level of competition; by this we will host two-day junior golf tournaments that will be posted on the National Junior Golf Scoreboard. This ultimately means that junior golfers, not only nationally but also from our region, will have the ability to get recognized by all college coaches.
