This Year's Jr. Golf Tournament Results
Rain May have Shortened the Tournament, But Spirits were High
FRIDAY JUNE 6, 2025, STE. GENEVIEVE GOLF CLUB This was a great golf event for young golfers ages 10-18 and it was professionally run by the Jr. Golf Division of the Gateway PGA. This is a qualifying tournament for the Optimist Championships at Doral Resort and Spa in Miami. Sharon Parton, Optimist International Sr. Director of the Jr. Golf Program, and her intern, were on site to assist with details. Our EMO District provides financial support to the top boy in the 16-18 age group and the top girl in the 15-18 age group to attend the Optimist Championships.
Although the tournament was cut short due to bad weather, the girls 15-18 age group did finish and the 1st Place winner was Julie Schlitt! The 2nd place winner was Lynlee Rubach. Both girls qualified to go to the Championships! Our District will pay the registration fee for Julie Schlitt! Both are pictured below with Joe Hatfield, our District Jr. Golf Chair. Julia was sponsored by the Jackson Noon Club. Additionally, Josie Welch, the 3rd place winner, qualified to go to the Championships.
The qualifiers for the boys 16-18 age group were determined by an at-large process facilitated by Sharon Parton after our tournament was rained out. Cole Packingham won 1st place and our District will pay his registration fee for the Championships. Cole Hendrix, Caden Fehr, Samuel Koishor, and Trey Roessher also qualified for the Championships.
