Iowa Junior Amateur, IWGA Girls’ Junior to share dates, site in 2011
The Iowa Golf Association (IGA) and the Iowa Women’s Golf Association (IWGA) have announced plans to share the same dates and site for the state’s junior amateur championships. Lake Panorama National Golf Course in Panora will host the Iowa Junior Amateur and the IWGA Girls’ Junior on June 13th and 14th, 2011. Both associations approved this move at their annual fall board meetings.
The Iowa Junior Amateur, conducted by the IGA, has four age divisions: 11 and under, 12-13, 14-15 and 16-18. The IWGA Girls’ Junior will have the same age divisions beginning in 2011. In the past, the girls event has divisions of 12 and under and 13-18. The 11 and under divisions will play 9 holes on June 13th only, the 12-13 division will play 18 holes on June 13th only and the 14-15 and 16-18 divisions will play 36 holes, 18 on June 13th and 18 on June 14th.
“Running the state’s top junior amateur championships at the same time and at the same site makes sense for both associations, for the host courses and for the contestants and their families”, said IGA Executive Director Bill Dickens. “We will be able to accommodate the number of entries we’ve seen in these championships in recent years and there is room for some growth in both events. We believe this decision will increase the efficiency and quality of the administration for both the events.”
Entries to IGA and IWGA Championships will open around the first week in March. Please visit www.iowagolf.org or www.iawga.org for more information.
