The 6,500 yard Moody Gardens course again challenged some of the state’s best golfers. Many kids were ill prepared for the 30 mph winds, the narrow fairways and the sneaky difficult greens during the event.

Boys 16-18 play 6,721 yards; the Boys 12-15 play 6,373 yards; and all Girls play 5,796 yards in cold and windy weather.
Saturday was cold and windy as the temperatures ranged from 28 to 56 with winds gusting around 25 mph.  Both golf courses were in great shape considering the amount of rain the area has received. Round 1 was delayed an hour and half due to heavy frost and fog.  Sunday was perfect weather for golf.  Temperatures began in the Low 40’s and quickly warmed up in the mid 50’s.  Sunny skies and only a slight breeze made for a great closing round.
As always it’s tough to beat the TJGT “Year in Review” Tour Championship Awards Show. For starters players and parents were treated to…

TxAGC Endorses HighSchoolGolfScoreboard.com…Read letter to Coaches Here.

image
The TxAGC emphasized its support and endorsement of HighSchoolGolfScoreboard.com, the first and only “official” high school golf rankings in the country, in a letter sent from TxAGC President Jerry Crumpton to all of the coaches that make up the membership of the TxAGC. Coach Crumpton, Head Golf Coach at McKinney Boyd, opened his letter by stating, “In the past two years the TxAGC leadership and I have been working closely with Junior Golf Experts, College Coaches, Fellow High School Coaches, and Rankings Agencies for the PRIMARY GOAL of moving our sport to the level of football in Texas. Football in Texas is nationally recognized as the best in the nation because their sport has been given statewide & national exposure. This is why so many high school athletes have earned scholarships at all NCAA levels. College Coaches can find the football talent because of the exposure through various websites, rankings, media & newspaper coverage. This has not been the case for Texas High School Golf.”

In an interview with Tjgt.com, Coach Crumpton shared that one of the…

Players battle each other, the course, and Mother Nature at the Barton Creek Holiday Classic

The TJGT Allen Samuels Barton Creek Holiday Classic was played at the beautiful Barton Creek Resort on the Crenshaw and Fazio Golf Courses on December 28th-30th, 2009. This Golfweek-ranked event was shortened from 54 to 36-holes due to some crazy, non-seasonal weather that resulted in giving the players a day off between rounds. The playing conditions can be summed up in two words- cold and wet.
imageClose to 200 players from 8 states and 4 countries teed it up in this very elite event with the Boys 16-18 playing 6,630 yards; the Boys 12-15 playing 6,290 yards; and all Girls playing a collegiate yardage of 5,900 yards.
This is the favorite event of the year for many parents, players and coaches alike for several different reasons starting with the incredible facilities and breath-taking views. One of the highlights of the event for many parents and players was the Q&A on Monday night with Golfweek magazine’s Lance Ringler , a former college coach and the guy behind the Golfweek rankings, and the college coach Q&A on Tuesday night that included Lance and his wife Missy, the women’s coach at UNLV, along with coaches from Wichita State, Vanderbilt, and Bowling Green just to name a few.
