AAU WORLD JUNIOR GOLF TOUR
The AAU World Golf Foundation was
founded to provide nationally ranked tournaments to juniors across the country with low total cost of participation
both in tournaments and in over night stay. We negotiate both with the courses and the
hotel industries for the best
prices and venues to continue to make junior golf more accessible to the families. We list these
discounts on our web site so you will be able to take advantage of these specials. With our market not only can
you have a nationally ranked tournament, but your family can have a nice
vacation. In 2009 and 2010 the AAU teamed with Dana Radar
Golf School
in Charlotte NC for a college night at the National AAU Championship. We learned
about recruiting, yardages, course played and just teeing it up in
competition. At the AAU Academy we coach
these things along with life
and swing skills thru drills and on course instruction.
We Invite you and
your parents to come and tour the Academy
and play our event at Chase Oaks GC in Allen, TX (just outside of Dallas) on March 26-27, 2011. For more information, please contact
Wendell Welch at 336-674-1900.

ATLANTIC COAST JUNIOR GOLF TOUR
The Atlantic Coast Junior Golf Tour was
founded to provide North Carolina
juniors with affordable golf and venues with competition to help accumulate
and build life skills and a reputable resume for college and beyond what life
might bring. The junior Golf experience should build family values and create
a bond between the junior and his
or her family as they compete for
trophies and recognition. We strive to
keep our fees down and negotiate with both the
courses and hotels to try to provide as low as cost to your families as
possible. We post these discounts
on our web site so you may take advantage of them.
In 2011 we hope you will try both tours and compare the true junior golf experience. We invite you play in the Guilford County AAU Winter Challenge at Bryan
Park GC on March 12 & 13, 2011.
For more information, please visit the

web site or call Wendell Welch at 336-674-1900.

MYRTLE BEACH NATIONAL TO HOST MYRTLE
BEACH
JUNIOR GOLF SHOOTOUT, APRIL 23-24, 2011
Myrtle
Beach National will play host to the eighth annual Myrtle Beach Junior Golf Shootout
during Easter weekend, April 22-23, 2011. The spring partner of the George
Holliday Tournament, held annually in November, the Junior Golf Shootout
hosts more than 150 boys and girls between nine and 18 years of age for the
two-day tournament. The tournament entry fee for players 10 through 18 years
of age is $135 with a registration deadline of April 19. The entry fee for
players nine years of age and younger is $60.
Sponsored by Myrtle Beach
National, and Coca-Cola®, the Junior Golf Shootout features two tournament
rounds at Myrtle Beach National’s Southcreek and
West Course, lunch each day, a welcome gift, door prizes and fun for the
entire family. Sanctioned by the South Carolina Junior Golf Association,
tournament participants can earn points towards the Heritage Classic
Foundation Rankings. Caddies are allowed, including family members.
“The Junior Shootout is a great
complement to our fall George Holliday Tournament as it showcases
college-talent bound players,” said Jim Woodring,
vice president of golf operations for the Myrtle Beach National Company. “The
Junior Shootout gets bigger and better each spring and showcases some of the
best junior golf talent in the Southeast. These events support our commitment
to growing the game of golf with our yearly program of ‘Kids Play Free’ at
all of our courses.”
Last year, 17-year-old Easton
Renwick from Punxsutawney, Pa. fired a final round 2-under par 70 to claim
the boys overall championship. Since winning the boys title last year, Renwick
has committed to attend college and play golf at Coastal Carolina
University. Katy Funk
from Spartanburg, S.C. won the girl’s overall title. In
2010, eight states were represented in the two-day event.
