Future Champions Golf had one of it’s busier weekends these past few days, as three separate events operated nearly simultaneously. Two of those events were held at The Vineyard of Escondido, but this recap will only focus on the National Tour Escondido Junior Tournament. The rolling hills and picturesque fairways are framed by hazards and environmentally sensitive areas that test the players’ accuracy off the tee. Without further ado we will continue on to the champion spotlight and event recap.
College Prep
The Boys College Prep division would kick things off for us early in the morning each day from the blue tees. Jarvis Lu from Rancho Santa Fe, CA became our champion after shooting 74-68 for a two day total of 142(+2). Second place went to William Hartford after he shot 72-79 for a two day total of 151(+9). Finally, Michael McClure took home the third place trophy after shooting 76-76 for a two day total of 152(+12).
The Girls College Prep followed the boys off the tee and would come in to scoring after braving the gusts on the tough course at The Vineyard. After 36 holes of play Olivia Yun from Carlsbad, CA became our champions after she shot 72-71 for a tournament total of 143(+2). Second Place went to Alli Kim from Murrieta, CA after she shot 75-72 for a two day total of 147(+7).

Future Champions Golf would like to extend thanks to all staff, volunteers, players, and of course, the parents.
