FALLSBURG — August 12, 2003 – The Catskill Junior Tournament held its latest event, the Rolling V Junior Tournament, last Wednesday at Tarry Brae Golf Course in Fallsburg.
Dozens of CJT members played the par 72, 6,965-yard course.
Among the competitors were 13-year-old Corey France of Barryville and 14-year-old Brittany Morse of Wurtsboro. Both are enjoying their first year as CJT members.
“I’m playing more golf and getting better,” France replied when asked what he enjoys most about the CJT events.
“More golf always helps,” added France, who played on the Eldred Central School varsity golf team this past spring and will enter the eighth grade at Eldred next month.
Morse, who will be a sophomore at Monticello Central School, played on the school’s golf team this past spring.
What does she think of the CJT?
“It’s fun, I really enjoy it,” Morse said. “It’s nice to meet new people and play on all of the different courses.”
The next event for the CJT golfers is “The Doctor’s Tournament,” which will be held on Thursday at the Nevele Grande Resort in Ellenville.
On August 21, the Frankie & Johnny’s Junior Championship will be played at the Villa Roma Country Club in Callicoon. This event is special in that the kids have to place in the top 10 in any one event throughout the season in order to qualify to play in the tournament.
