The new U15 & U13 Championship gets underway tomorrow at Lakeside Golf Club in Chestermere! This is the first year the event will be separate from the U17 players and the change has proven to work with a boost in registration up to 70 players.
The U15 & U13 Championship brings together the top young players in the province. The now separate championship acts as a great bridge between the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour with many of the players there making the jump to our provincial championship schedule. The event has separate divisions for Boys and Girls in both the U13 and U15 divisions. Bennett Love will be a player to watch as he hopes to reclaim the U15 title, as does Oscar Gosgnach in the U13 division. Camilla Ruesga-Rojas will look to take another step in her junior career as she looks to claim the U15 Championship after her U13 victory in 2024. Mia Ha looks to be the favourite in the U13 Girls’ division, as she claimed the 2025 McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour U13 Division and Season Point Race at the Tour Championship just last week.
Lakeside Golf Club has stepped up as host for this event and has proven to be a terrific fit. Tyler Willner, the clubs head professional, has done a tremendous job growing the courses junior program from 40 players to 150. The course also played host to a McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour event earlier in the season. The course also offers a fair test to the field with an open layout, but is not just decided by players who can bomb the ball of the tee.
