Girls Golf sites come in all shapes and sizes across the United States. Some are operated by
independent non-profit organizations, others by one or two local champions. Some meet only in
the summer, others meet year-round. The trait shared by all sites is the desire to serve girls
through the game of golf. Let us help find a place for YOU and your community in the LPGA-USGA
Girls Golf family.
