The TGA Sweeps have been discontinued in 2022 for lack of participation. The principle reason for the TGA sweeps was to provide operational funds for the organization. With low level of play, the TGA was losing funds monthly, thus voiding its purpose. For those that did support the sweeps, we thank you. Money donated to Jr. Golf is not used for TGA operating expenses,
Lauryn Nguyen (16) shot a 9 under par (135) over the two day tournament at Meadow Park to win the Girl’s Division, while Henry Mills (16) shot a 1 under par (143) to win the Boy’s Division. We have some great junior golfers in the area. Good playing everyone. Please come back next year.
Paul Mitzel (defending champion) is again this years TGA City Amateur Champion. He shot 71-66-74 211, beating out Sean Packer by 8 strokes at 219; with the rest of the field a ways back.
