Oregon Junior Golf hosted its first two tournaments of 2021, part of its one-day Winter Series. The January events, held at Willamette Valley Country Club and Langdon Farms Golf Club (above) just south of Portland, featured kids from eight to 18 years of age. Both championship divisions were won with under par scores.
California Junior Golf Tour
Grace Oh broke through for her first victory on the California Junior Golf Tour. Her six-over score through two days at Pasadena’s Brookside Golf Club gave her a four-shot victory in the Girls NexGen division.
The tour continues play later in the month in Ventura, California.
Arizona Junior Golf
Arizona Junior Golf continued pulling more juniors into the world of competitive golf with its X3 Short Course Events. Most recently, beginners and younger players were put to the test at Rolling Hills Golf Course in Tucson, Arizona.
Washington High School Golf
After more than a year, high school golfers in Washington state returned to the course for league play. Many players had qualified for the 2020 state tournament in the fall of 2019 before the season was ultimately cancelled because of COVID-19.
This year, to mitigate continued virus concerns, the state announced that it would forego a state tournament and that the shortened season would culminate in a series of regional championships in late March.
