This two-day, 36-hole event will be broken down into three age groups (9-11, 12-14 and 15-18), with the winner of each group receiving a berth into the National Tour Championship at Mystic Dunes in Florida this August. All participants will receive a USSSA Golf shirt. For more information, contact Ray Coyne at (631) 482-3264, ext. 701, or e-mail ray.coyne@globalrec.net.
