We were looking for a way to tie education in with the SAJGF and discovered the Tiger Woods and Target Store's "Start Something Program". We will be adding the Start Something program to our curriculum, this summer. The Start Something program can help kids find their own dreams and begin making those dreams come true, one step at a time. Start Something is based on the ideas that have inspired Tiger Woods all of his life. The Tiger Woods Foundation and Target Stores have worked with an educational expert to translate those ideas into the enclosed guide for teachers and group leaders.

The SAJGF is affiliated with the Texas State Amateur Golf Association. 4 Junior golfers from the SAJGF, 2 Boys and 2 girls were invited to play in the Inner City Golf Tournament at Jimmy Clay Golf course in Austin, Texas on August 17,2003. The boys won 1^st and 2^nd places, the girls 1^st and 3^rd places. The Texas State Amateur Golf Association (TSAGA) has served the African American golf community of Texas for over 60 years. The TSAGA is 501c3 tax exempt non-profit organization, which is ran by golfers with the purpose of introducing youth, women, and disadvantage youth to the game of golf. The TSAGA has 13 chapters thought out Texas, which each chapter hosts a Golf Tournament to raise funds for youth, women and disadvantage youth.

The History of African American's in Golf is a strange and winding tale of racism, discrimination and segregation. Golf has always had an air of mystique and the general population's perception saw it as the game of the rich and famous. Well, African Americans have excelled in every aspect of life and of course golf is no exception, but the institutional segregation of courses, associations and country clubs made it impossible for African Americans to display their talents and just as important to earn a living. Until resent history African Americans were stuck in the roles of caddies and country club staff. Oh, but times are a changing………

One of the greatest challenges facing America today is preparing our youth for the future...reaching them; empowering them and inspiring them to make goals and realize their potential to achieve.. This challenge has never been greater. Thus, the opportunity never brighter for the National Minority Junior Golf Scholarship Association to impact the lives of young men and women throughout the United States.

The mission of the National Minority Junior Golf Scholarship Association is to increase the participation of minority youngsters in the sport of golf as well as provide financial assistance in education and opportunity0

To positively impact the golf industry by developing and supporting programs that create and promote opportunities for minorities in all aspects of golf.
You don’t have to be a professional golfer to work in the golf industry. From golf professionals and golf course superintendents to sports writers and tournament directors, there are lots of fun, rewarding careers and internships to suit young people of all backgrounds and experience levels.

The NMGF exists to help the golf industry achieve its goal of diversity in employment at all levels. By showcasing opportunities for minority golfers and those simply interested in golf to shine, the NMGF plants the seeds for a lifelong love of the game. To some, passion and talent for golf can mean college scholarships. Others may build their careers around networking opportunities the game offers. Still others may launch their careers through internships or full-time positions with industry giants like the PGA TOUR.
