The Tennessee Golf Association

Every spring the TGA hosts a special camp weekend for junior girl golfers at Golf House Tennessee in Franklin, TN.  This year’s event is scheduled for April 16-18. 2010. The past two years we have averaged 75 girls for the weekend, and hope this year brings out one of the best groups of girls yet.

 

This year's Girls' Golf Fest is themed to incorporate new techniques, games and

events with a tropical twist.  Stay out of the sand and sign up!

Bonnie Blackburn: A Passion for Golf
-and Orange

Bonnie Blackburn (1917-2004) was an avid golfer for over half a century. Her enthusiasm and passion for the sport was known throughout Tennessee, particularly in the Knoxville area where she resided. She has been involved not only with the Tennessee Golf Association, but Knoxville Area Women’s Golf and an avid follower of NCAA Women’s golf, always rooting on The Lady Vols. Bonnie has competed in numerous local, state, and Southern Women’s Amateur events. Her enthusiasm for the sport accompanied her wherever she went and there was no doubt who she was rooting for—The Big Orange. May her passion for the great game of golf inspire junior girls for generations to come.
In honor of Bonnie, the Bonnie Blackburn Junior Girls Golf Spirit Award was established last year. Each year at Girls Golf Fest an attendee who possess Bonnie’s spirit and enthusiasm will receive the award.
