Tigermania and the OMYGA
By: T. J. Dorsey, D.D.S.
Tigermania and the OMYGA is about a golf program that mainly serves African American youth but is open to all youth. The program, the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association (OMYGA), operates in Orlando and began in 1991, long before the emergence of Tigermania in 1996. OMYGA had a humble beginning with four youth and has grown to almost ninety participating annually.
