Director’s Notes

Our 2016 season is in full swing and we are making plans for all of our summer events!

We are happy to announce that our 25th annual D-day Tournament and Fundraiser is again slated for Saturday June 11th.

Please remember that this event is our only fundraiser of the year and has always allowed us to keep our fees at a reasonable cost for our members.

We will again ask all of our juniors to participate by soliciting $1 donations for each of our opportunity drawing tickets. Each junior is asked to be responsible for 25 tickets. We will be giving away a new set of Callaway XR OS irons and carry bag. The drawing will take place at Heartwell GC on Saturday June 11th.

In addition, we will need assistance in securing golfers for our tournament and prizes for our live auction.

We would be grateful if everyone would participate in some fashion.

Drawing tickets will begin to be distributed on Friday April 1st and are due back on Monday June 6th.

As the school year draws to a close please remember to include our summer events in your plans. The LBJGA will again host a summer league at Recreation Park 9 on Tuesday afternoons at 2pm beginning on July 5th.

We will also be partnering with the Long Beach Golf Festival for the Crosby Memorial Junior Championship at Rec Park 9 and 18. This event will be held on Wednesday June 29th. Entry forms are available on line or at the Long Beach Junior Golf Building at 6730 E. Carson St.

For questions, please call Sheri or myself at (562) 570-1272.
