25th California State Fair Junior Championship

Article By Mark Perry, Tournament Director, California State Fair

The State Fair Junior Tournament at Mather Field GC was a big success. The 90-degree weather was perfect. The golf course played hard and fast, not one complaint about the condition of the course. We had 163 players, 33 in the 7-11 division, 130 in the 12-18 division. The overall girls champion was Amelia Garibaldi with a score of 66. The overall boys champion was Andre Zhang with a score of 68.

This was my first time being a Director of a golf tournament. I learned a lot and I am looking forward to next year.
