Tsawwassen, BC
Two fine weather days and the perfect venue of Tsawwassen Springs Golf Club in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, set the scene to showcase close to 100 talented 12U golfers from across Canada in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Mini Tour National Championship, the invitation-only season finale for players aged seven to 12 on Canada’s number-one played Junior Golf Tour. This successful event on August 31 and September 1, the only one of its kind in Canada for 12U players, fielded competitors from seven provinces, the United States and Grand Cayman, vying for National titles and the coveted Hoselton trophies in six divisions.
Players were treated to great tee gifts, refreshments, tons of prizes as well as a Guest Speaker talk by UBC Head Coach, Chris Macdonald, who stated his amazement at the young Canadian talent on full display. Highlights included two hole-in-ones recorded, both by Vancouver, BC, golfers, namely Emily Yan on hole 15 and Ethan Jiang on hole 4, as well as fantastic scoring by many competitors.
