The International Junior Golf Tour (IJGT) will conduct a 36-hole stroke play event for boys and girls at Fowler's Mill Golf Club in Chesterland on Saturday and Sunday.
The event will be conducted on Fowler's Lake and River nines for boys and girls ages 15 to 19 and boys under 14.
Tournament promoters say the event will be ranked by Golfweek and Junior Golf Scoreboard. The champion in each age division will receive an invitation to the IJGT Tournament of Champions at Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando at the end of May.
The IJGT event joins an already impressive list of junior events in the area. The Hudson Junior Invitational takes place June 14-15, followed by the Cleveland Junior Open at Red Tail in Avon (June 21-22) and the prestigious Ohio Juniors at Windmill Lakes June 28-29.
Partners for Patriots: Clearview pro Renee Powell and the PGA of America are working together to create an organization to aid female veterans who have been injured or dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. It is called H.O.P.E. (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere).
"Our Clearview H.O.P.E. is a part of the new PGA initiative and it's only the second golf program of its kind for women veterans in the country," said Powell. "There are a number of golf programs that have been established for veterans but none solely for female veterans."
The five-week program at Clearview will be conducted Fridays in July beginning at 5:30 p.m. The deadline for registering for the clinic at Firestone is May 25. For more information contact Sandy Hollis at the Louis Stokes V.A. Clinic at 330-489-4600, ext. 1601.
Heading south: Local Northern Ohio Golf Association professionals Tom Atchison (Congress Lake), Mitch Camp (Walden) and Tom Herzan (Findlay) have entered the 72nd annual Senior PGA Championship, to be held next week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., site of the 2008 Ryder Cup.
Tom Lehman is the defending champion, having won last year at the Colorado Golf Club. The event has added significance in that former Tour pro Ken Green, who lost the lower part of his right leg in a horrific recreational vehicle accident that took the life of his brother, girlfriend and his dog in 2009, is expected to compete.
