The 36-hole competition pits nine state and regional golf associations against one another to determine junior golf supremacy. The three lowest scores from each four-man team will count toward the team’s overall total.
The event, originally founded in 1964 by A. Fred Williamson in memory of his father, an original founder of Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., aims to foster relationships between participants and provide a competitive playing experience for junior golfers on both national and international levels. The event consists of four-player teams competing in two rounds of stroke-play.
Last year, Golf Ontario took the title with a team score of 435.
