How to Support SWFJGA With the "Golf Capitol of the World" Specialty Tag

Updated

You can support the Southwest Florida Junior Golf Association (SWFJGA) by purchasing or renewing Florida's "GOLF CAPITOL OF THE WORLD" specialty tag, either online or at your local tax office. The site presents this as a way to back junior golf, and it notes that proceeds from the tag support the program. The site does not publish the tag's price, the exact amount that goes to SWFJGA, or whether an online purchase requires an account, so confirm those details with the Florida tax office or the order page before you buy.

What the Tag Supports

SWFJGA describes itself as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has provided tournament golf venues for developing players in Southwest Florida for over 50 years (1974–2024). The site says the program has produced PGA and LPGA touring professionals, local club professionals, and business leaders, and that it promotes character growth, responsibility, and social skills.

The tag is one of the ways the site asks the public to support that work. The site also references supporting sponsors and a scholarship program, but it does not list sponsor tiers or scholarship application steps on the page.

How to Get or Renew the Tag

  1. Choose a channel. The site names two: order online through its "Order Online" link, or visit a tax office.
  2. Complete the purchase or renewal. For an online order, follow the linked order page; at a tax office, ask for the "GOLF CAPITOL OF THE WORLD" specialty tag.
  3. Confirm what you are getting. Before paying, check the current fee, whether the tag is a new issue or a renewal, and how much of the fee is directed to SWFJGA. These specifics are not stated on the SWFJGA page.

Expected result: you receive or renew the specialty tag, and the tag's designated proceeds go toward junior golf.

Common Snags

  • Price and donation amount are not listed. The site gives no pricing signals, so do not assume a cost or a specific contribution per tag.
  • Online ordering details are thin. The page offers an "Order Online" option but does not describe the steps, so treat the linked order page as the source of truth.
  • Renewal timing. The site does not explain renewal deadlines or whether an existing tag can be converted mid-cycle; your tax office can confirm.

Other Ways to Help

Beyond the tag, the site points to supporting sponsors and to SWFJGA scholarships that "make a difference in the lives of our students." If you want to give in a different form, ask the association directly about sponsor opportunities or scholarship support, since the page does not spell out those processes.
