This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Massachusetts Junior Amateur Championship! We've had some pretty impressive names engraved on the trophy over the past century -
Ray Ouimet,
Eddie Lowery, Mass Golf Hall of Fame inductee
Fred Wright,
Kevin Johnson,
James Driscoll, defending Mass Open Champion
Evan Harmeling...you get the point.
Entries for this year's Championship close next Thursday and we are all looking forward to what is sure to be a great event at
Nashawtuc CC in Concord. We already have a ridiculous field of exempt competitors -
Paul Lei will be back to try and defend his title, but first he will have to compete with
Steven DiLisio, who recently made news as the medalist at our first MGA Open Championship qualifier. He is only 16 years old! I'm sure we'll be seeing his name in golf news more frequently.
And you never know, we might see a player come through one of the qualifying rounds to win the title! We have some great courses lined up to host the qualifying rounds - Dudley Hill, Southers Marsh, CC of Billerica, The Blandford Club, Needham GC, and Amherst GC. Qualifying takes place from July 1-July 10.
