2011 Awards
The 2011 Atlanta Junior Golf Awards Banquet was a special evening for the 200 plus guests in attendance to celebrate the accomplishments of many junior golfers. Over 60 junior golfers were in attendance to be recognized for what they have achieved in 2011.
Atlanta Junior Golf introduced a new format to the 2011 event that allowed junior golfers the opportunity to say a few words upon acceptance of their awards. All of the junior golfers made sure to thank their parents for their steadfast support of them as they continue to strive to be the best they can be on the golf course.

GSGA Super Poster Awards were given to junior golfers who posted 25 or more rounds to there GSGA Handicap before August 1.
