The SCGA and SCGA Junior Golf Foundation join the Southern California community in extending its deepest support and compassion to those impacted by the ongoing wildfires across Los Angeles County. We are deeply concerned and distraught from the devastation this tragedy has brought and we share in the heartbreak that our area has been suffering. With our community top of mind, we mourn for those who have experienced loss or hardship during these extremely difficult times and wish safety to those who might be in harm’s way.
Furthermore, we are evaluating the best and most impactful way to involve ourselves in regional relief efforts. We’ll keep the golf community informed on those decisions as they are made.
