World Series-FCG So Cal Championship

Future Champions Golf Tour hosted four events over the weekend, two local events, one in Florida and an inaugural event in Mexico. The FCG So Cal Championship was hosted by La Costa Golf Resort as part of the FCG World Series Events held throughout the year that provide junior golfers with stellar golf courses and even better competition. La Costa is world famous for previously hosting several PGA and LPGA events and the blue skies and sunshine provided an excellent backdrop for such an amazing golf course. The golf course was in optimal condition, greens were fast, rough was thick and the fairways were perfectly manicured.
