ADDISON – The 98th Texas Junior Amateur Boys 15-18 Division will return to White Bluff Resort – New Course for the second consecutive year. The 54-hole tournament will take place from September 21-23, with a cut after 36 holes.
“We are excited to return this prestigious tournament to such a great venue,” said Scott Davidson, Tournament Director of the Legends Junior Tour. “The players enjoyed White Bluff last year. The course and staff are top tier, and it’s a great experience throughout our time there.”
The 98th Texas Junior Amateur, originally scheduled for the Clubs of Kingwood on July 29-31, was rescheduled due to the effects of Hurricane Beryl.
“We would like to thank the Clubs of Kingwood for their hard work in preparing the course before Hurricane Beryl,” Davidson said. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Clubs of Kingwood and returning to their incredible venue in the near future.”
