Junior/Adult Championship

Beginning with the 2007 Junior/Adult tournament, the Rochester District Golf Association has agreed to invite the head golf professionals of its member clubs to play in the Junior/Adult Tournament, an 18 hole modified Chapman format. The 2007 Tournament will be held at Lima Country Club, Monday, August 6, 2007.

After receiving several inquiries from area professionals with children, the RDGA Board of Directors unanimously agreed to encourage participation in this popular event with children. The head pros will be limited to playing with a son, daughter, or grandchild from their immediate family. The ages of the juniors may be from 12-17 as of July 31. To further encourage professionals who wish to play with their children, the RDGA will try to avoid future scheduling of this event on Monday's, typically the day when the professionals compete in their own WNYPGA competitions.

The Junior/Adult Tournament has become a popular event for Juniors and Adults alike. The Two Person teams may be a junior of either gender (age 12-17) and an adult of either gender (30 years or older) from the same RDGA club. They do not have to be related, only members at the same club. The various flights will be determined by age and gender with the winners in each flight determined by the 18th hole lowest gross score using to modified Chapman format.

In the modified Chapman format, each partner plays from the appropriate tee, based upon their age and gender. Each partner then plays his/her partner's ball. Then one ball is selected to finish the hole by alternating shots.

The entry fee of $55 per team includes prizes in each flight by age and gender along with lunch for everyone. The field is limited to te first 80 teams that register to play. Online registration is now available at www.rdga.org. If anyone has registration difficulty, please call Don Neal at 425-7432 immediately. Any other questions should be directed to Fred Lapple, Tournament Chairman, at 269-1584 or the RDGA Office at
