Florida Junior Golf Council

Created in 2002 by the Dade Amateur Golf Association, the Florida Junior Golf Council was formed for the benefit of Florida's junior golf programs. Through the efforts of Charlie DeLucca, the founder of the Dade Amateur Golf Association, and golf advocates throughout the state, the "Golf Capital of the World" license plate was passed into law by the Florida legislature and Governor Jeb Bush.
The revenue derived from the "golf license plate" is used to assist organizations in the State that offer instruction and playing opportunities in conjunction with education in golf's core values of integrity, honesty, personal responsibility and sportsmanship. Funds are also used in support of junior golf initiatives serving the disadvantaged and disabled.
The FJGC has a Board of golf advocates who oversee the grant process. This Board is actively assisted in its evaluation process by the Florida State Golf Association, a non-profit organization that has served as the governing body of the game in Florida since 1913.
