TJGT Attends AJGA Annual Meetings in Atlanta
Dave & Lisa Jones with AJGA Executive Director Stephen Hamblin @ The AJGA Annual Meetings Digger Smith Awards Banquet
TJGT president Dave Jones & wife Lisa attended the annual AJGA annual meetings at AJGA headquarters in Braselton, GA. TJGT leadership has attended the annual meetings for the past five years in support of the AJGA mission and the opportunity to pattern TJGT operations around the AJGA standards. Past & present TJGT staff & board of directors have served as AJGA tournament chairman, senior rules officials, ace grant donors as well as patron, associate & platinum levels of sponsorship.
The purpose for TJGT’s attendance is to absorb the excellent tournament planning & sponsorship seminars during “breakout sessions” over the three day event. AJGA tournament chairman & sponsors nationwide attend the meetings and share their perspectives & expertise. This opportunity offers TJGT’s leadership the chance to absorb & implement new & visionary ideas. The week with the AJGA & all their tournament chairman translates into new & improved initiatives to benefit TJGT members inside & outside the state of Texas.
TJGT president Dave Jones states, “AJGA is the model for junior golf operations in the world. TJGT’s motto is “come play with the best.” it is a great opportunity each year for the TJGT leadership to learn from “the best.” Over the past several years, TJGT leadership has actually spent their time, resources and vacations to help AJGA in chairing and operating tournaments not only to benefit TJGT members but improve TJGT operations. We count it an honor & privilege to be invited personally by executive director Stephen Hamblin each year and truly call the entire AJGA staff, “friends of the TJGT.” We look forward to implementing the visionary ideas that always come from these annual meetings.”
