About GDYGA

The Greater Dayton Youth Golf Academy (GDYGA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1989. It's all volunteer staff teaches girls and boys from age 8 to 18 to play golf and to have the integrity, courtesy, and mental discipline, found in learning the game of golf.

As a family based organization; fund raising events, private donations, and minimal membership fees finance our entire program.


GDYGA welcomes children of all races, creeds and economic backgrounds. They learn the rules of the game, the customs and courtesies on the course, respect for the individual, and to always be supportive of another's best efforts.

Lessons are taught by knowledgeable, volunteer instructors with the help of Dayton area PGA and USGTF professionals.
Students are encouraged to participate in junior tournaments throughout the Midwest. With the generous support of the City of Dayton, in the use of it's Northwest Recreation Center, Madden and Kittyhawk facilities, the practice and learning schedule keeps participants busy year round.
 

While this current schedule is well structured, the full potential of this program is restricted. GDYGA hopes to develop and maintain an active, year round golf facility for youth. This would provide a driving range, putting greens, practice bunkers, indoor practice areas, classrooms, adequate offices, a golf shop and other areas normally associated with learning golf and an 18 hole golf course designed specifically for youths to learn how to play the game. Most importantly, we'll offer access to the game, thereby encouraging individual growth.
