Hamilton Mill PGA Junior All-Star Team to Compete in SE Regional

Submitted press release

An all-star team of junior golfers from the Dacula area (specifically Hamilton Mill Golf Club) is headed to the PGA Junior League Golf Southeast Regional at Summer Grove Golf Club in Newnan, Ga., Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 6-7).

The winning team will advance to the PGA Junior League Golf Championship, held this year at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth Oct. 23-26.

Piloted in 2011, PGA Junior League Golf is supported by the PGA of America and gives boys and girls 13 and under the opportunity to learn and play golf in a fun, social and team environment.

Teams play four nine-hole matches in numbered uniforms in a two-person scramble format, which limits pressure on players and allows for substitution by PGA Professional coaches.

This year, 18,000 kids on 1,500 teams across the country participated in the program, which more than doubled last year’s participation figures.
