The season began with more than 60 teams and 1,400 juniors and two teams punched their tickets to the regional event in Wisconsin this past Saturday.
After the completion of Saturday’s play, the All-Star teams advancing to the regional event in Wisconsin were: Eastern Nebraska (101) in the 13U division and The Ridge Golf Club (70) in the 17U division. The highlight of the day came on the last putt on No. 9 green from Eastern Nebraska’s Harper Kalin with a 60+ foot bomb that lit up the crowd.
The two teams will advance to play in the PGA Jr. League Regionals at Glen Erin Golf Course in Janesville, Wisconsin in September.
