When we finalized our AJGO/PGA Summer Junior Tour schedule, we checked with the county and city school systems all across the State to determine the earliest school start date for classes. While we thought we have the earliest school start date- it turned out that we were “off” by 1 day. Unfortunately that 1 day was going to prevent a number of AJGO Members from playing in the Championship.
The only fair option was to move the Championship to a weekend so everyone could participate. However, even this wasn’t a perfect solution as several player have started college and as a result will miss the Championship.
Why didn’t we have the Championship on a weekend in August – because August is Club Championship Season and we simply could not find a golf course with an open weekend.
Next year we plan on getting the School Start Date “resolved” have hold the Championship before school starts.
