The TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club hosted a staple of its annual tournament schedule on Sunday with the junior club championship.
There were 18 junior golfers competing in the 18-and-under, 14-and-under and 12-and-under categories.
"It's the one tournament most kids really look forward to I think, especially our older kids. We have lots of fun stuff over the summer, but this is the one competitive thing a lot of them really enjoy," said Woodlawn's junior director Amanda Minchin.
"It's usually the same kids coming out and playing, and I think they take a little bit of pride in wanting their name on that trophy."
Jayden Dudas was the 12-and-under boys champion, with a score of 86. Drew Fenwick was the runner-up with a round of 101.
Cole Fonstad won the 14-and-under boys championship, shooting a 74, which was nine strokes ahead of runner-up Logan Chernoff.
In the 18-and-under boys category, Kyle Salaway and Dylan Lay tied for the lead at 75, but Salaway was determined the winner through retrogression.
The girls champion was Bailey Farr.
Of the 18 golfers, 17 were boys, and Minchin said that has been a trend.
"We're trying to grow that group of girls that come out. It's been like that since I was a junior golfer. For some reason, there have just been more boys than girls. It's just how it is, but we're working on it. We offer just as many opportunities for girls, if not more than we do for boys, but there's just always been that gap, and we're hoping we can shrink it."
She added she hopes the junior program continues to grow and that membership numbers reach the level they were at before the 2011 floods that devastated the course.
"Thank you to the kids who are playing here (Sunday) and the parents who are helping scorekeeping. Parent involvement is huge and I appreciate it that they're out here," Minchin said.
