Gina Gonzalez-Rolle, Junior Division chair BFG, highlighted the program’s success in developing golfers, “Many of our players have been developed from our ongoing school golf programs,” and emphasized the importance of financial support, particularly for players facing economic challenges, “some of our players are young men and women from the inner city, and we need to fund their travel, their kit, their accommodations, etc. This support will allow these young athletes to compete on a global stage and pursue their passion for golf.”
BGF is gearing up for the first of two upcoming tournaments, with 14 players, 2 coaches, and 1 manager heading to Jamaica.

We have also brought on a sports psychologist to help our juniors cope with the pressure of the championships as well as working with them on their strength training and fitness.”
