The Jamaica Open NY Golf Championship or JONY is a golf tournament launched in 2014 at Brooklyn's Marine Park Golf Course.[1] The event was launched as part of the 52nd anniversary celebrations of Jamaican independence and serves highlight the cultural and links between Brooklyn and Jamaica.
JONY is structured as a pro-am and features a men's professional draw in addition to amateur flights. JONY partnered with two charities in 2014 - Jamaica’s Palmyra Foundation, which provides youth in Jamaica with schoolbooks, and the New York Urban League, which provides resources for finding housing and employment to New Yorkers in need.[2]
