Almost all 10 divisions had close races to the finish but no division was more exciting than our Boys 15-18 Division finish. We brought this event to PGA West becuase of the history of the course for Professional Golf being played here and felt that our Junir Golfers needed to play on this big stage. It is a perfect venue for drama and Pete Dye challenges every part of your game. The weather this year was amazing with temperatures barely reaching 100 degrees each round. Players and caddies took carts and pace of play was amazing. Some players finished in under 4 hours inlcuding a final round by our lead group in under 3.5 hours. Future CHampions Golf and the PGA West and La Quinta resort staff are proud to host this event and look to make this event one of the largest and most sought after events in Junior Golf Worldwide. "It is a perfect venue for a major junior golf championship, says Chris Smeal, Founder of Future Champions Golf. The courses are filled with history and prove to be a tough challenge for all players. The La Quinta Resort is beautiful and features over 800 rooms and 40 pools making it perfect host hotel for a major event.
