The event runs from June 12 – 15 and will feature 72 of the world’s best junior golfers. Coldwell Banker has played an integral role in the junior golf tournament’s success over the years. Longtime Coldwell Banker agent Bob Apple jump-started the real estate company’s tournament involvement by providing local agents promotional opportunities on-site in exchange for tournament support. As Apple’s passion for the tournament grew stronger, Coldwell Banker corporate was inspired to invest in golf’s next generation. Today, the Steve and Geri Downs Real Estate Team spearheads Coldwell Banker’s AJGA support. With their support, the AJGA can provide special experiences for tournament players such as a Championship Dinner, champion’s Poppies Pond jump, organic juice bars, ice cream bars, champion robes and a special Care for the Course program designed to give back to Mission Hills Country Club. "We are very proud to be associated with the AJGA and this great event," said the Steve and Geri Downs Team. "We look forward to continued success for many years to come." While continuing to provide promotional opportunities to local agents, Coldwell Banker also sponsors the Shooting Star Award. The Shooting Star Award is peer-voted and given to a player in the tournament field that best displays character and integrity on the golf course. The 2018 ClubCorp Mission Hills Desert Junior will feature 25 college commits, 11 AJGA champions and two Rolex Junior All-Americans.
