"I am thrilled to have Brian in the Field and respect his decision to come back and help support a tour he is a past champion of." states tournament coordinator Jim Kenesky. "Brian is a great player and personality that the juniors will love to watch and be around. The Junior Tour and this event are excited to have his presence for a second consecutive year."
The Inaugural Pro/Junior Golf Classic was held at Southbrook Golf & Country Club in 2011 and saw a thrilling finish in the Junior Division where Brad Hildebrandt defeated home course favourite John Majerovich in a playoff. In the Professional Division Eric Ross posted a single point more then a foursome of players that included Brian McCann. The Pro/Junior uses a Quota Point Scoring system that adds excitement and many different outcomes to the event.
Scoring System:
0pt - Double Bogey +
1pt - Bogey
2pts - Par
4pts - Birdie
8pts - Eagle
16pts - Double Eagle
"This year's event will be hosted by Southern Pines Golf & Country Club in Mt. Hope ON and with the unique scoring system in place should see an evening up of the field." says Kenesky. "With twelve par 3's, five par 4's, and one par 5 and it's very challenging executive length, the course will offer up many birdies, eagles, and bogies. The staff and members at Southern Pines are excited to host the event and those involved with the tournament feel it will test all abilities on August 16th."
The Pro/Junior Golf Classic is an official event on the Golden Horseshoe Area Golf Tour's schedule and is the final event that players are able to collect valuable regular season points before the playoffs start on August 27th.
