Jodi Munn-Barrow Continues Leadership as JGA President for Second Term

Jodi Munn-Barrow has been re-elected unopposed as the president of the Jamaica Golf Association (JGA) for her second consecutive term. This decision took place at a recent election held at the Constant Spring Golf Club in St. Andrew. Munn-Barrow is notable for being the first female president of the JGA.

In her statement following the re-election, she expressed her gratitude and outlined the JGA’s immediate priorities: organizing the Caribbean Amateur Junior Championships in July and focusing on the Jamaica Open. Her leadership and vision are supported by a committed executive committee.

The JGA executive committee includes:

• Vice President: Dr. Mark Newnham (also returned unopposed)
• Treasurer: William Brown
• Honorary Secretary: Fred Sutherland
• Junior Golf Chairperson: Alison Reid
• Ladies’ Representative: Rowena Coe
• Committee Members: Dave Lyn, Vikram Dhiman, Robert Chin, Teddy Alexander, and Dave Cameron

Alexander and Cameron are new to the JGA executive, with Cameron having served as the former president of the West Indies Cricket Board and being an occasional golfer.

Peter Chin, the immediate past president and a dedicated golfer, nominated Munn-Barrow, demonstrating continued support and confidence in her leadership. Robert Chin nominated Dr. Newnham, who also returned unopposed.

Munn-Barrow’s re-election reflects her strong leadership and the confidence the JGA members have in her ability to guide the association’s future activities and initiatives.
