It's finally here. Internship Recruiting Weekend.
Tomorrow, 96 candidates for the AJGA's summer traveling internship will travel to Atlanta to begin an interview process unlike any other. Over the course of the weekend, as the staff learns more about the candidates, the candidates will also get to learn more about the American Junior Golf Association.
If you're one of the candidates coming to town tomorrow, or you're just curious about the whole event, take a look at "AJGA Recruiting Weekend by the Numbers," to get a quick glimpse into what will be going on this weekend...
4,824 – Miles. The furthest distance a candidate will travel for IRW. We have a candidate coming from Prague, Czech Republic!
4,193 – (and counting) AJGA members in 2013.
1,200 – Approximate number of candidates that have attended IRW since its inception in 2001.
300 – Number of servings of dessert that Executive Assistant Mary Ann Cowgur and the rest of the food and beverage staff will prepare to provide a sweet ending to meals.
102 – Tournaments the AJGA will host in 2013.
