WHITEHALL — The Greater Muskegon Junior Tour capped its summer season Monday afternoon with its final event, at the White Lake Golf Club.
The annual tour promotes golf to young players with an interest in playing the sport at the high school level or beyond. It is open to all players 18 and younger.
Tour director Bill Borgman, who is also club pro at WLGC, said the tour saw an uptick in participation this year, with around 60 players getting involved. Exactly that many players were on the course Monday for the final tournament of the summer.
The tour included eight Muskegon-area courses, including two in the White Lake area; Old Channel Trail Golf Course hosted its tournament July 15. The tournaments took place eight consecutive Mondays.
Event winners Monday included Bryce Andres of Spring Lake in the fifth grade and under division (eight over par); Maizy Start of Spring Lake in the girls 6th-8th grade division (22 over par); Brennan Andres of Spring Lake in the boys 6th-8th grade division (seven over par); Mayson Southland of Muskegon in the girls 9th-12th grade division (14 over par); and Kody Vis of Spring Lake in the boys 9th-12th grade division (one over par), who edged out Killian Prewitt of Fremont by a stroke.
Players below high school age played nine-hole events each Monday, with fifth-graders and below playing on a modified shorter course. High school aged players participated in full 18-hole events.
