"Lou" Smith, and Norrie West decided the San Diego Junior Golf Association would host the very first Junior World Golf Championship tournament. The three had dreamed of organizing a tournament where juniors from all parts of the world could come together to play golf and share in cultural exchange. 174 </p> 175 176 <p> 177 The following is taken from the 1968 Junior World Program created by Norrie West: 178 </p> 179 180 <p class="px-3"> 181 <i>The idea behind the Junior World Golf Championships is simply "YOUTH." The San Diego County Junior Golf Association is founded on the principle of serving young people, in the hope that by doing so today's youth will have a better chance of creating the world we all want. The Junior World tournament is an international extension of that principle. We believe that by bringing together young people from all parts of the world and all parts of our nation, we are helping to bring about greater understanding among people of differing cultures and values.</i> 182 </p> 183 184 <p> 185 In its inagural year, the event attracted 475 junior golfers from seven countries and 20 states. Today, the tournament has grown to 1250 participants, representing 56 countries and 42 states. The USWING MOJING Junior World Golf Championship is now the largest international event in the world, unique for its international representation and cultural diversity.<br> 186 <br> 187 The Junior World has enjoyed representation from the following countries and territories since 1968: 188 </p> 189 190 <div class="row text-center text-md-left"> 191 <div class="col-md-3"> 192 <ul class="about-locations"> 193 <li> 194 America Samoa 195 </li> 196 <li> 197 Argentina 198 </li> 199 <li> 200 Australia 201 </li> 202 <li> 203 Austria 204 </li> 205 <li> 206 Bahamas 207 </li> 208 <li> 209 Barbados 210 </li> 211 <li> 212 Belgium 213 </li> 214 <li> 215 Bermuda 216 </li> 217 <li> 218 Bolivia 219 </li> 220 <li> 221 Brazil 222 </li> 223 <li> 224 Canada 225 </li> 226 <li> 227 Chile 228 </li> 229 <li> 230 China 231 </li> 232 <li> 233 Colombia 234 </li> 235 <li> 236 Costa Rica 237 </li> 238 <li> 239 Czech Republic 240 </li> 241 <li> 242 Denmark 243 </li> 244 <li> 245 Dominican Republic 246 </li> 247 <li> 248 Ecuador 249 </li> 250 <li> 251 Egypt 252 </li> 253 <li> 254 El Salvador 255 </li> 256 <li> 257 England 258 </li> 259 </ul> 260 </div> 261 262 <div class="col-md-3"> 263 <ul class="about-locations"> 264 <li> 265 France 266 </li> 267 <li> 268 Gambia 269 </li> 270 <li> 271 Germany 272 </li> 273 <li> 274 Great Britain 275 </li> 276 <li> 277 Guam 278 </li> 279 <li> 280 Guatemala 281 </li> 282 <li> 283 Guatemala 284 </li> 285 <li> 286 Honduras 287 </li> 288 <li> 289 Hong Kong 290 </li> 291 <li> 292 Iceland 293 </li> 294 <li> 295 India 296 </li> 297 <li> 298 Indonesia 299 </li> 300 <li> 301 Ireland 302 </li> 303 <li> 304 Israel 305 </li> 306 <li> 307 Italy 308 </li> 309 <li> 310 Jamaica 311 </li> 312 <li> 313 Japan 314 </li> 315 <li> 316 Kazakhstan 317 </li> 318 <li> 319 Kenya 320 </li> 321 <li> 322 Lebanon 323 </li> 324 <li> 325 Mariana Islands 326 </li> 327 </ul> 328 </div> 329 330 <div class="col-md-3"> 331 <ul class="about-locations"> 332 <li> 333 Mauritius 334 </li> 335 <li> 336 Malaysia 337 </li> 338 <li> 339 Mexico 340 </li> 341 <li> 342 New Guinea 343 </li> 344 <li> 345 New Zealand 346 </li> 347 <li> 348 Nigeria 349 </li> 350 <li> 351 Northern Ireland 352 </li> 353 <li> 354 Norway 355 </li> 356 <li> 357 Pakistan 358 </li> 359 <li> 360 Panama 361 </li> 362 <li> 363 Paraguay 364 </li> 365 <li> 366 Peru 367 </li> 368 <li> 369 Philippines 370 </li> 371 <li> 372 Poland 373 </li> 374 <li> 375 Portugal 376 </li> 377 <li> 378 Puerto Rico 379 </li> 380 <li> 381 Qatar 382 </li> 383 <li> 384 Rarotonga (Cook Islands) 385 </li> 386 <li> 387 Saipan 388 </li> 389 <li> 390 San Marino 391 </li> 392 </ul> 393 </div> 394 395 <div class="col-md-3"> 396 <ul class="about-locations"> 397 <li> 398 Scotland 399 </li> 400 <li> 401 Singapore 402 </li> 403 <li> 404 South Africa 405 </li> 406 <li> 407 South Korea 408 </li> 409 <li> 410 Sri Lanka 411 </li> 412 <li> 413 St. Lucia 414 </li> 415 <li> 416 Sweden 417 </li> 418 <li> 419 Switzerland 420 </li> 421 <li> 422 Tahiti 423 </li> 424 <li> 425 Taiwan 426 </li> 427 <li> 428 Thailand 429 </li> 430 <li> 431 The Netherlands 432 </li> 433 <li> 434 Trinidad & Tobago 435 </li> 436 <li> 437 United Arab Emirates 438 </li> 439 <li> 440 United Kingdom 441 </li> 442 <li> 443 United States 444 </li> 445 <li> 446 Uruguay 447 </li> 448 <li> 449 Venezuela 450 </li> 451 <li> 452 Virgin Islands 453 </li> 454 <li> 455 Zambia 456 </li> 457 <li> 458 Zimbabwe 459 </li> 460 </ul> 461 </div>

Two years later, John asked a friend, Lou Smith, to take over day-to-day operations – which she did as Executive Secretary until 1986. John Brown became and remained President of the San Diego County Junior Golf Association for the next 33 years, eventually handing off the responsibility to Norrie West, who remained President until 1993. Lou Smith passed the torch onto her daughter-in-law, Joan Smith, who served the association and its members for 40 years before retiring in 2000. 479 </p> 480 481 <p> 482 These leaders – along with their dedicated staff, board members, and a group of loyal volunteers – work hard to give kids the chance to play affordable golf and grow as upstanding individuals along the way. And 70 years later, the original mission designed by John Brown and Lou Smith remains and continues to grow stronger each day! 483 </p> 484 </div> 485 </div> 486 </div> 487</section> 488</div> </main> 489 490<footer> 491<section class="container py-4"> 492 <div class="row"> 493 <div class="col-11 col-md-12 mx-auto"> 494 <div class="row"> 495 <div class="col-md-3 col-xl-2 text-center"> 496 <img alt="Junior World Golf" class="img-fluid" src="http://static3.mysiteserver.net/Images/juniorworldgolf/site/template/uswing_mojing_junior_world_golf.png"> 497 </div> 498 499 <div class="col-md-9 col-xl-6 py-3 mx-auto flex"> 500 <div> 501 <h6> 502 The Story of Junior World 503 </h6> 504 505 <p> 506 The idea behind the Junior World Golf Championships is simply "YOUTH."
