The first ever RecruitLook Junior Golf Tour Championship took place Tuesday and Wednesday at the stunning Reflection Bay Golf Club; this course was the perfect backdrop to finish a year-long tour season. The course was in great shape, and the entire Reflection Bay staff was very hospitable.

The Girls 9-10 came to the last event to decide the Tour Champion. Heading into the Tour Championship, 50 points separated Yana Wilson (1,800 points) to Jayda Sidney (1,750). Whoever wins the last event would be the Tour Champion. Yana played the front nine in 48 to Sidney’s 43. Yana found her swing at the turn, quickly cut the deficit on the back nine and shot a spectacular 38 to Sydney’s 44 to win by one. Congratulations to both these young ladies on a very competitive match.

Dylan Girouard (pictured above with the Girls 13-14 winner) won the boys 11-12 with 2,300 points. Dylan was consistent on the tour all season, and his play has improved over the year. Winning the RLJGT should be motivation for Dylan to continue to work at his game to defend his crown in 2017.

We are so thankful for all the support given to us throughout the year from both parents and juniors. Our first year has been a fun and exciting year, and we couldn’t have made it a success without all of your support. We’ve already started planning 2017, and we’ll have some exciting new twists to the tour next year. We hope to have the 2017 schedule up by mid-January.
Have a Merry Christmas and healthy New Year!
