Big Canoe MGA supports GJGF!
The Big Canoe Mens Golf Association is a strong organization in a unique position to assist one or more local charities. This year the Big Canoe MGA chose the GJGF to be their charity and we appreciate the donation.
Many thanks to all.
Here are some photos from the event at Big Canoe. Parish Lowrie hitting his shot during the Big Canoe Member – Guest hole-in-one contest. If you entered the contest for $10.00 and hit the putting green you got a ticket for a drawing to split the pot of $1,220.00, the other half of the pot went to the Georgia Junior Golf Foundation
