The Colorado Golf Association created the Hale Irwin Player Program in 2012 to advance the next generation of elite young golfers.
The program is designed to identify junior golfers in Colorado with determination, drive and passion for the game of golf and enhance their skills by granting them FREE access to CommonGround Golf Course and the practice facilities.
Additionally, participants volunteer with the CGA’s Community and Wellness programs, as well acting as score keepers for the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado (JGAC) 10 & under tournaments.
