For the
fourth consecutive year, the AJGA will make a stop at Northern
Michigan’s Boyne Highlands Resort.
Boyne
Highlands ResortLocated in Harbor Springs, Boyne Highlands’
Heather Course served as the home for the Buick Junior Open
presented by Golfweek in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, the AJGA
went back to Boyne Highlands for the inaugural AJGA Boyne
Highlands Junior.
This year’s
AJGA Boyne Highlands Junior will feature 144 boys and girls
ages 12-18 in 54 holes of stroke play competition on Boyne
Highlands’ Moor Course. The event will be held July
26 – 29 with a qualifier being held Monday, July 26.
The AJGA
Boyne Highlands Junior is replacing the Toldo Group Eastern
Canadian Junior. Applications that have already been received
for the Toldo Group Eastern Canadian Junior will automatically
be transferred to the AJGA Boyne Highlands Junior. Juniors
may withdraw from the tournament before the deadline (June
22, 2004) without penalty.
“It
is unfortunate to make a change like this during the season
but is was a logistical circumstance that was beyond our control
that led to this decision,” said AJGA Vice President
of Operations Bobby Powell.
“Boyne
Highlands is a great venue. The resort and golf course staff
has always been great to us and we really look forward to
going back there.”
