About:
Back in 1994, when local golf legend Mary Ann Bierman and her daughter Anne Caja founded the Ohio Girls Golf Foundation, there were no girls’ high school golf teams in northern Ohio. Today that number exceeds 300.
The OGGF continues to play a key role in the extraordinary growth of girls’ golf by providing educational, recreational and career opportunities.
Over the past decades, the Foundation has awarded more than $100,000 in college scholarships to hundreds of girls, as well as hosted clinics and tournaments.
The OGGF hosts a High School Showcase featuring LPGA Tour Professional Barb Mucha every summer. It also sponsors instructional Golf Clinics each spring for girls age 8-18, geared to inform, educate and expand knowledge of all aspects of golf. Plus, through the Ongoing Lesson Program girls have the opportunity to continue improving their game via private lessons with PGA Professionals, partially funded by the Foundation.
