The Junior Classic, which began as the RTC Junior Classic, turns 10 years old today at WindStone.
“It’s continued to grow even though it was a little different when we started, because the oldest kid here this year is 16,” tournament chairman Phil Erli said. “For a while we were a little concerned about the future of this event, but we are now on solid footing.
“The AJGA has been a good partner for us.”
For a decade it has provided junior golfers an opportunity to impress college coaches, earn tournament experience, learn the game and improve their games.
