USGA Jr Girls at LMGC

The 2012 USGA Junior Girls' Championship will be held at Lake Merced Golf Club July 16 - 21. Practice rounds will be played on the Saturday and Sunday before the tournament which will feature the best junior girl golfers in the country and beyond. The course will provide a pro-level challenge, being a frequent host for US Open sectional qualifiers. LMGC is the hidden jewel of premier golf courses in the SF Bay Area, and it's a comfortable walk to any of the fairways and greens.

If you're in the bay area and love golf, come and spend some time at LMGC and you will see the absolute best in junior golf today. Tournament history tells us that you will be seeing several future stars on the LPGA tour. The tournament starts with two days of stroke play to select the qualifiers for four days of match play. It's a format not seen often enough in the US, and the girls' junior championship is a perfect venue for it.

You'll see golf swings that are like poetry in motion. The swing tempo is at just the right pace for seeing the details of swing mechanics. It's one of those intangibles that can inspire young athletes to play the game. We think this tournament is golf at its best.

We will be there to observe and chronicle the tournament. We hope to see you there.
