CJGA Partners with KRG Children’s Charitable Foundation Grant

CJGA Partners with KRG Children's Charitable Foundation Each year the Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) supports hundreds of junior golfers across Canada to enable them to play a sport they love. While golf is a healthy, wholesome game that relies on physical and mental discipline, it is not accessible to everyone. The CJGA is proud to announce a partnership with KRG Children’s Charitable Foundation. KRG has been supporting thousands of children for almost 20 years; through their generous support, kids are able to lead healthy and physical lives. In addition, KRG Children’s Charitable Foundation allows kids to gain important life skills such as etiquette, independence, sportsmanship and leadership.

Through the KRG Children’s Charitable Foundation’s involvement, a CJGA Fund will be set up to support the growth of our youth through the sport of golf. Through this fund, junior golfers who wish to gain access to the game can apply for financial aid through the CJGA. Families will be required to submit the appropriate application form found on the CJGA website. Successful applicants will be notified within four weeks of applying.

CJGA Supports Kyle Sayani Charity Golf Classic

In an emotional, heartfelt day at the Lionhead Golf & Country Club in Mississauga, Ontario, the second annual Kyle Sayani Charity Golf Tournament took place to celebrate the life of former CJGA member Kyle Sayani, whose life was lost much to early in May of 2012. The day, highlighted by a full tournament field, was capped off by a dinner in which Kyle’s life was celebrated with family and friends alike. The event, hosted by the Sayani family and friends, aimed at raising funds to help junior golfers gain the same opportunities which Kyle Sayani had been blessed with during his life. During his time with the Canadian Junior Golf Association, Kyle was part of CJGA Team Canada, which claimed the gold-medal at the 2009 Euro Junior Golf Cup. “The response and support from the Sayani family and friends has been over whelming” said John Lawrence, Managing Director of Tour Operations for the CJGA. “With the assistance of the Kyle Sayani Memorial Fund more juniors will be able to follow in Kyle’s path, and once again lead CJGA Team Canada to gold.” With the support of the Sayani family and friends, a significant step is being taken to ensure the future shines bright and help build upon the sport which Kyle loved so much. “The CJGA would like to offer our gratitude to all those involved with the event and support of our future junior golfers” continued Lawrence. The event planners intend to continue the event for many years to come and continue to generate opportunity for young aspiring golfers like Kyle and where the life of such a talented young athlete will be remembered. About the Kyle Sayani Charity Golf Tournament: Established in 2012, the Kyle Sayani Charity Golf Tournament aims to enhance the opportunities available to junior golfers across Canada, by helping to relieve some of the financial burdens placed on golfers as they make the journey through their golfing careers. The tournament is held in memorial for former CJGA member Kyle Sayani, who was tragically lost, aged just 19-years after a motorcycle accident in April 2012. We strongly encourage you to support the memory of Kyle, and keep his spirit alive through the sport which he held most dear.

Stephen Ames Junior Classic, presented by RBC CJGA Set to Conduct Stephen Ames Junior Classic presented by RBC at The Hamptons Ames to Conduct Private Clinic for CJGA Juniors

The Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) is set to conduct the Stephen Ames Junior Classic presented by RBC this coming weekend at The Hampton Golf Club in Calgary. The limited field event will see 40 junior golfers compete in the CJGA Alberta season finale. Stephen Ames, PGA TOUR professional and CJGA National Spokesperson will be on-site during the two-day event, supporting the next generation of Canadian golfers. Ames will conduct a clinic for the junior golfers in the field on Saturday morning at The Hamptons, before heading out onto the course to watch the kids play. “Supporting junior golf has always been one of the key mandates of my Foundation," said Ames from his home in Calgary. “I have had the pleasure of working closely with the CJGA for many years and am excited about the initiatives we have been able to forge together to help kids in both Canada and my native Trinidad. I am also thrilled that my friends at RBC are involved again this year.” The CJGA and Ames have had a relationship dating back to 2004 when Stephen attended the CJGA Junior Golf Fundraiser just outside of Toronto. The following year, the Stephen Ames Cup was formed, an annual Ryder-cup format event that pitted Trinidad & Tobago against Canada in an event that rotated between the two countries. Taking a hiatus this year, Ames felt it still important to give back to the juniors in his home province. The limited field of CJGA members will look to close out the domestic schedule on a high note and capture their respective division titles. Juniors will also be grinding for valuable National Order of Merit points as the top two players in each division will gain entry in the CJGA World Junior Challenge in Tampa, FL in December.

CJGA Founder Elected to Ontario Golf Hall of Fame

On Friday November 15, 2013 the Golf Association of Ontario (GAO) announced the four new inductees into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame. Headlining the list was Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) Founder & Executive Director, Earl Fritz. Founded in 1993 under the tutelage of Fritz, the CJGA has been a driving force in the development of the game of golf across Canada. Fritz’s passion for sport development was born out of his career as a competitive hockey player, where he gained an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of amateur sport in Canada. As he reached the twilight of his hockey career, his passion shifted to golf, where he was able to identify gaps in the junior golf development process and saw the need for a competitive tour for aspiring young players. Working from his basement, Fritz was determined to create a development program that focused on all aspects of the sport including camps, clinics, and competitive events for all ages that would allow young golfers to build fundamental skills and learn how to compete at the high performance level. Not long after launching the CJGA in Ontario in 1993, Fritz had many of his junior tour players representing Canada in international events. While working full time as a teacher, Fritz donated countless hours to growing the association and within five years the CJGA was offering its programs across the country. He also built mentoring programs for his players that included several PGA Tour professionals including Stephen Ames and Ian Leggatt.

[

]

Today, the CJGA is a major contributor to the game of golf across the country, hosting more than 80 provincial, national and international events every year, and it is the largest feeder system into Golf Canada’s development programs. CJGA programs have impacted thousands of golfers from coast to coast, with many going on to receive golf scholarships and compete on professional tours. Fritz’s perseverance and dedication to junior golf development has made the CJGA an internationally recognized organization that is a pillar of junior golf development in Canada. The other inductees are John Henrick, Bob Weeks and Dorothy Campbell Hurd Howe. The Ontario Golf Hall of Fame is dedicated to the recognition of extraordinary contributions and accomplishments in the game of golf in Ontario. Founded in the year 2000 by the Ontario Golf Association and the Ontario Ladies’ Golf Association, the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame is housed at Wooden Sticks Golf Club in Uxbridge. The four new members will be inducted into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame in a ceremony taking place on May 7, 2014 at Wooden Sticks Golf Club.
