Hamilton-Halton Junior Golf Tour Cancels 2020 Season
Hamilton - The Board of Directors for the Hamilton-Halton Junior Golf Tour (HHJGT), the oldest junior golf tour of its kind in Ontario, regretfully announces the cancellation of its complete 2020 tournament schedule due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.
“After the usual pre-season planning combined with significant waiting, hoping, deliberation and information seeking, the Board of Directors unanimously decided to cancel our 2020 golf events,” said HHJGT president Brent Warriner. “At this time, we are unable to provide the golfing experience players and parents have come to expect from our tour in partnership with golf facilities and PGA of Canada Golf Professionals around Hamilton and Halton, while still safeguarding the health and wellbeing of those within our local competitive golfing community. The safety of our competitors, volunteers, families, host course staff and members, as well as other friends of the tour in this time of pandemic and uncertainty has to come first.”
The HHJGT was about to enter its 37th season of continuous operation providing affordable competition for junior (U-19) and bantam (U-15) aged male and female golfers in the greater Hamilton-Halton area. The 2020 Tour schedule consisted of a qualifying round at Chedoke with seven tour stops at Beverly, Georgetown (formerly Eagle Ridge), King’s Forest, Flamborough Hills, Heron Point, Blue Springs and Glendale. We thank those golf facilities for their willingness to host our events in 2020 and look forward to holding tournaments on their golf courses again in 2021 and beyond.
In addition, teams of HHJGT competitors would have participated in the Ontario Summer Games golf event in London over the Civic Holiday Weekend and in the Humber Cup/Ontario Junior Golf Tours Championship in the Ottawa area at the end of August. Tour members would have also had the opportunity to compete, with qualifying exemptions, in Golf Ontario events and the District Optimist Junior Golf Tournament.
“The Board of Directors would also like to let our returning exempt players know that their 2020 exemptions will carry over to the 2021 season provided that the exempt player remains age eligible and wishes to continue playing our tour. Parents and junior (U-19) and bantam (U-15) aged male and female golfers should continue to visit our HHJGT website for news about the 2021 season),” added Warriner
