New junior golf tour gives players chance for more Northwest events

There is a new way for junior golfers from the Pacific Northwest to get some tournament experience in 2016 – the Pacific Junior Golf Tour.

There are a total of nine events set for the schedule for 2016, including an event at Palouse Ridge in August.

Cost for the tour is $50 and comes with a $25 gift certificate to be used toward any tournament entry plus a tour Ogio backpack, member bag tag and complimentary range balls at all events.

The Pacific Junior Golf Tour is also putting on a mini tour for golfers not quite ready for the two-day tournaments. The mini tour is a $25 entry for golfers K-8 grade.

The Pacific Junior Golf Tour also will be holding a Pacific Cup, which will crown champions in both boys and girls divisions at the end of the season. For info see www.pjrgt.com.
