Congratulations to Linda Gleckler for winning the 2026 Bandon Dunes Summer Solstice experience! The OGA would also like to extend a special thank you to everyone who participated, collectively raising $43,000 for OGA Junior Golf.
Linda began playing golf at the same time her two sons started taking lessons when they were young and loves that it became a family activity for them. She is a big advocate for getting youth into junior golf because it teaches them etiquette and important values. Now, Linda plays every Wednesday at Columbia Edgewater Country Club with her friends. She is taking three of her friends over to Bandon to participate in the Bandon Dunes Summer Solstice event. Linda has never played Bandon and is very excited to see all that it has to offer. I think we can all agree that Linda and her group will be in for a special treat!
The Oregon Junior Golf mission is to go above and beyond in providing regional leadership and advocacy to ensure every young golfer, regardless of their background or skill level, has equal access to playing opportunities and thrilling competitions. We believe that golf is not just a game, but a platform that cultivates essential values of Fun & Friendship, Integrity, Respect, Sportsmanship, and Stewardship. The funds raised will help empower young golfers to become the influential leaders of today and tomorrow, thank you for the support.
