A NEW ERA BEGINS AT BEAR CREEK/RIBBLE SEES RED (NUMBERS THAT IS…)

image
This past weekend marked the beginning of a new era on the TJGT with the debut of the Elite Mini-Tour, which played alongside the big tour at Bear Creek GC. With both the Fall Junior Preview and the Elite Mini-tour Kickoff being played August 23rd and 24th at Bear Creek, the TJGT took another step forward in further establishing itself as the place to play competitive junior golf. With Nationally-ranked events for boys and girls ages 8-18 there isn’t a better value in junior golf anywhere.
Although the first Elite Mini-Tour event was shortened to 27 holes due to some nasty weather that moved in on Saturday,…

A LITTLE RAIN, SOME COLLEGE COACHES, LOTS OF GREAT GOLF

image
The TJGT had dual action going on this week with two events being played. The Austin Summer Classic was played August 18th-19th 2008 at Grayrock GC in Austin and the Houston Summer Shootout was played at Walden on Lake Conroe in Montgomery. Having a staff of over 50 high school coaches comes in handy at times like these.

Austin Summer Classic:
Despite playing in drizzle both days we saw some great golf on a great golf course with a couple of sub-par rounds and everybody getting around in under 4 ˝ hours. Several college coaches from schools like UT, Yale, St. Edwards and OU put on their rain gear to watch the best junior golfers in the state tee it up. Three playoffs, all won on the first playoff hole, determined three trophy spots.
Here’s how the action shaped up on the…

TJGT HITS THE GROUND RUNNING AT THE CAPITAL CITY KICKOFF

image
The TJGT got the 2008-2009 season underway with the Capital City Kickoff played at Falconhead Golf Course in Lake Travis, Texas.

Although the second day had temperatures almost ten degrees cooler than day one, the first day saw weather that was extremely HOT with little to no breeze, and temperatures that topped out at 103*. Combine that with a golf course with many elevation changes and protected greens with more than their share of undulation, and you have a very challenging venue.

Junior Tours Merge To Provide More Opportunities for Players Seeking National Exposure

image
The Texas Junior Golf Tour and Mr. Robert Valero, Executive Director of the Texas Junior Masters, Junior Links Open, Texas/Mexico Cup & the Junior Mini Tour are excited to announce a merger to provide more opportunities for juniors golfers across the Texas and surrounding states.
Mr. Valero states, “ After careful evaluation of the various junior tours, the TJGT continues to set itself apart from all the others, second only to the AJGA. Its vision of providing national exposure and educating parents & players on elite junior golf is second to none. Their leadership consists of individuals who have experienced for themselves every level of junior golf and collegiate golf, as well as coaching experience at the high school & collegiate level. I feel the TJGT brings the best opportunity and overall value for all the players and parents.  Their relationship with Nike, Golfweek, Junior Golf Scoreboard, high school golf coaches and the AJGA cannot be matched. I am excited about handing over some great events into their care.”

FAMILIARITY BREEDS SUCCESS AT THE BRITISH LINKS CHALLENGE

image
The hottest day of the year turned out to be a scorcher on the golf course. The entire field must have been taking notes on Monday because on Tuesday we saw some lights out golf. An incredible 19 players shot under-par on Tuesday with another 8 shooting even-par. Just another reason why the TJGT can make the claim “Come Play With the Best!”
The 16-18 Boys saw the most players in red numbers in the second round with 15…

THE TEMPERATURE WAS HOT, BUT DUBAY WAS HOTTER!

image
In the first round of the 36-hole nationally-ranked British Links Challenge being played at the Tribute GC in the Colony, in 100+ degree weather, Tyler DuBay (Frisco, TX 2009) scorched the course “DuBay style” firing a 7-under 65 that included 8 birdies, five on the front and three on the back side. DuBay certainly favored the odd-numbered holes on the front with birdies on 1,3,5,7, and 9, and even-numbers on the back with birdies on 10,12, and 14. When the smoke cleared he had a five-shot lead in the Boys 16-18 over Jeff Hageman (Grapevine, TX 2009) and Chris Leasor (Mansfield, TX 2010) who both shot respectable 2-under 70’s. Elliot Thompson (Frisco, TX 2009) and Corbin Light (Plano, TX 2008) round out the red-numbers crew posting 1-under par 71’s.
