The Joe Haase Cup was played at Firestone CC (North Course) on Saturday, April 20, 2024. It was a cold and windy day, but the sun did shine and the rain stayed clear. The temperature reach 49, but the wind chill was in the 30’s, so golfing conditions were extremely difficult to say the least. None of this stopped the competition or the Central Ohio Golf Academy (COGA) from winning there 2nd straight Joe Haase Cup. COGA had 393 points, 2nd was NOPGA with 384 and TJGA stayed close with 376 points. Several players overcame the weather and had outstanding rounds, but none better than Evan Maki (TJGA) with a score of 70 (-2) and 38 points. The final results and some players highlights are shown below.
Congratulations to our fantasy contest winners for both March Madness and The Masters.

Big News for the Brand New “Season-Long Team Championship”
The Season-Long Team Championship is a new concept for tournament golf and NCJT is among the first world-wide to launch such a cool concept for its tournament players. All players will be assigned a team and remain on that team for the entire season. Team assignments will be based on hometown and school districts, in hopes to keep school teammates on the same team. At each tournament a certain number of predetermined scores will count toward the team score for that event and points will accumulate to the season-long rankings. In the end, one team will be the Team Champion and will receive one of the most exciting award packages we have ever offered. One of those awards will come directly from your team sponsor. Please share with your school teammates to build a strong team!
The team sponsors are the team names and here is the official brand sponsors:
Callaway Team
Cobra Team
Cleveland/Srixon Team
Mizuno Team
Ping Team
Taylor Made Team
Titleist Team

Embarking on a groundbreaking journey, we’re thrilled to unveil the first-ever Team Championship in local junior golf for the upcoming 2024 season!
The New Team Championship:
Get ready for an electrifying season-long contest where camaraderie takes center stage. Rally your teammates and dive into the excitement awaiting you. Each junior player will be assigned to a team for the entirety of the season, organized by regions and closely tied to school districts. Below, we present a preliminary map, subject to finalization before the season opener on June 4th. Anticipating a balanced competition, we foresee the formation of eight teams of equal size.
This prestigious competition boasts its own dedicated scoreboard and season-long rankings, providing a captivating narrative as the competition unfolds. Every stroke play tournament will contribute to the team championship scoring, with the number of players counting towards the team’s total score varying based on the tournament’s field size.
The Team Championship seamlessly integrates with individual stroke-play competitions, offering a multi-faceted golfing experience.
Furthermore, the new team concept will not alter the benefits of our individual stroke play competitions or the 36-Hole competitions posted to the Junior Golf Scoreboard “JGS”. JGS competitions amplify the visibility of our elite junior golfers with their Junior Golfer World Rankings—a premier platform for college coaches scouting their next golfing prodigy.
There are no additional costs or registration associated with the Team Championship; everyone is automatically placed on a team. It’s simply a fantastic way to foster team spirit and competitiveness on our junior tour!
What’s particularly thrilling about the introduction of the new team championship is that it opens up a wonderful opportunity for junior golfers to compete alongside their school teammates throughout the summer. It presents an excellent avenue for enticing those who may have been holding out on summer golf to finally join in and participate in tournament play. As we’re well aware, this participation directly correlates with improved performance for school teams! It’s time to rally the troops and encourage all teammates to join us in saying, “Get on Tour in 2024!”
Prepare for a grand unveiling of team names and prestigious awards for the champions, promising to make waves across the golfing community! Stay tuned for more exciting updates and announcements!
