It was another great weekend of TGJT golf across the state with three events, including a team event being played. Great courses combined with beautiful weather along with the best junior golfers in the region make for some incredible golf.

First up we have the TJGT Tribute Team Championship played May 1st-2nd, 2010 at the Tribute Golf Club in the Colony just North of DFW airport. The course set up for some super low score and that’s exactly what we got.

The Texas Junior Golf Tour had double duty going on Sunday, March 21st.  Two events were held simultaneously at Eagle’s Pointe in Mont Belvieu and Raven’s Nest Golf Club in Huntsville.  Eagle Pointe is the host site for the Region III 5A boys and girls golf tournament, while Raven’s Nest is the host site for the boys and girls Region III 4A boys and girls golf tournament, as well as home to both the men’s and women’s Sam Houston State golf programs.  This was a great opportunity for TJGT players to play their respective regional tournaments.  On hand at Raven’s Nest was Sam Houston State Lady Bearkats golf coach Tommy Chain.  The Texas Junior Golf Tour would like to thank Coach Chain for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come out and watch some of the girls action.  The format at each site was a 36-hole event in which players were allowed to ride in carts, much like they do at college events on the West coast.  Action appeared to be the word of the day for Christina Stringham.  Fresh off of an extended layoff for medical reasons, Stringham basically won the title on her first 18 holes with an opening round...
