No Tie for Ty

It looked like the boys 16 to 19 age group was going to end up another sister kisser (old school slang for a tie in sports) but Ty Roediger (Chardon) said “not so fast” and drained a birdie on the final hole to claim (38-39–77) sole possession of the coveted Champions Trophy.

Tuesday, June 4th at Little Mountain will be the tour kickoff!

In 4 days, the North Coast Junior Tour will begin its 33rd tour season and we hope you will be joining us for all the exciting action of being on tour. The kickoff event will be at Little Mountain CC on Tuesday, June 4th. Little Mountain is ranked as one of the best courses in Ohio for more than 20 years and is a tour favorite. Our 2nd tour stop will be at Punderson, another great venue, on Thursday, June 6.

WEEK ONE LATE FEE REDUCTION – To avoid late fees, tournament entries are due at least one week prior to the start of the event. For the first week (Little Mountain and Punderson) we are reducing the late fee to $1, normally its $8. We accept late entries up until 4pm the day prior to most events.

The 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. The golf brand sponsor for the winning team will provide one of the most exciting award packages we have ever offered. Please share with your school teammates to build a strong team!

Some things to remember about tour season:

• Pairings/Tee Times are posted 2-3 days prior to events, contestants are responsible to view the pairings list and know their tee time.

Tuesday, June 4th at Little Mountain will be the tour kickoff!

In 12 days the North Coast Junior Tour will begin its 33rd tour season and we hope you will be joining us for all the exciting action of being on tour. The kickoff event will be at Little Mountain CC on Tuesday, June 4th. Little Mountain is ranked as one of the best courses in Ohio for more than 20 years and is a tour favorite. Our 2nd tour stop will be at Punderson, another great venue, on Thursday, June 6.

The 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. The golf brand sponsor for the winning team will provide one of the most exciting award packages we have ever offered. Please share with your school teammates to build a strong team!
