Recognized by
GolfWeek as the #1 junior event in golf, the Junior Invitational welcomes the very best junior golfers from around the world to Sage Valley Golf Club in Graniteville, South Carolina. Past participants have succeeded at every level having already played in the Ryder Cup, Masters, U.S. Open and The Open Championship.
Chapter participant, Brandon Doner, was invited to attend the opening dinner and play in the tournament ProAm. He was joined by his father, Adam, who also played in the ProAm.
“What an incredible event and golf course,” said Brandon. “Through our local chapter, I played in the The First Tee Open at Pebble Beach and now I have played Sage Valley. It does not get any better than that!”
The invitation was made possible by an exchange program between our chapter and The First Tee of Aiken. Students from Aiken attended this year’s The Honda Classic and played in our Monday after tournament.
Congratulations to Adrien Pendaries, the grandson of Chapter Director, Dr. Edward Slotnick. Adrien played in the Junior Invitational and finished tied for 11
th place at three under par.
