MAJGT NEWS A NOTE FROM READ MANAGER, MAJGT I’d like to start out by thanking our entire membership for welcoming me into this role in 2018. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with multiple golf associations/tours over the years, yet I can truly say I am blown away by both the talent and kindness that can be found on the MAJGT. The 2018 MAJGT season was one to remember. We had the opportunity to visit several top courses around the region. These were highlighted by the Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame, which will host the 2019 U.S. Senior Men’s Open, as well as Ravinia Green Country Club, which hosted us the week before it hosted play for the 69th Illinois Open Championship. In addition to first-rate courses, we also got to see plenty of great play. We had 11 champions finish with scores under par this season. Additionally, a combined seven players between our boys and girls divisions won multiple titles this season with us. Not bad for a season that saw so many interruptions due to inclement weather! Don’t forget there is still one more event on the schedule for the 2018 season. The MAJGT Autumn Open will be held at Twin Orchard Country Club (White Course) on October 20-21. If you intend to play in this event, we recommend that you register quickly, as this event has had a waitlist in the past. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any suggestions or comments regarding the 2018 season. We will continue providing the best events possible moving forward, and your feedback helps us make that a reality. Have a happy and safe Fall! Respectfully, Read Langhenry 32 Illinois Junior Golf Association
