Central Oregon Junior Golf Association creates COJGA Card

Published 8:01 am Tuesday, May 21, 2024

Central Oregon Junior Golf Association announced the launch of the brand-new COJGA Card access program for 2024.

This card costs $59 and offers young golfers affordable access to golf facilities in the region.

The COJGA Card allows participants to play and practice at Crooked River Ranch, Juniper Golf Course, Meadow Lakes, Quail Run, and Widgi Creek at an affordable rate for greens fees ($5-10) and range fees ($2-3).

To use the COJGA Card unaccompanied, participants must complete an orientation process. This includes watching an instructional video and passing a quiz. Players aged 12 and older are eligible, while interested players aged 11 and younger will be reviewed by coach Nate Kitt and the COJGA Board to determine eligibility. Privileges begin once orientation is completed and participants receive their COJGA Card.

“We are thrilled to introduce the COJGA Card Program, which opens up opportunities for junior golfers to access the game of golf all over Central Oregon,” said Kitt in a release. “We are confident that this program will promote a deeper love and respect for the game, as well as foster growth in children’s independence, maturity, self-confidence and integrity.”

COJGA emphasizes that maintaining good etiquette and respect for partner facilities is crucial. If corrective action is necessary due to inappropriate behavior, participants may lose the privilege of using the COJGA Card.
