The AJGA is now accepting nominations for the Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award. Nominations are open until September 6th, 2025.
It is part of the AJGA's mission to develop young men and women on and off the course and to showcase the importance of respect for their fellow competitors and the game of golf. One way that is achieved is through the AJGA's Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award.
About the Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award
This award has been presented annually since the AJGA's inception in 1978. In 2000, it was named in memoriam for Jerry Cole after the AJGA’s longtime friend and board member’s death.
Recipients of the Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award are historically juniors who have some or all of these characteristics:
- Impact others in a positive way
- Display integrity and sportsmanship on and off the golf course
- Embody the spirit of the game by seeking opportunities to give back
Each year, the Jerry Cole Sportsmanship Award recipient earns entry into the Rolex Tournament of Champions and is honored at the Rolex Junior All-America Awards Banquet.
