PREVIEW | Junior Boys and Girls Championship presented by the Alex & Peggy Colonello Foundation at Pine Ridge Golf Club
72 Junior Boys and 16 Junior Girls are vying for the Junior Boys and Girls Championships presented by the Alex & Peggy Colonello Foundation Tuesday through Thursday at Pine Ridge Golf Club.
The three day, 54 hole event will have a new champion in 2026 as Spence Mott (Shilo Country Club) and three time champion Addison Kartusch (St. Charles Country Club) have aged out.
“Pine Ridge Golf Club is thrilled to officially welcome the provinces top young talent as the proud host of the Junior Boys & Girls Championship presented by the Alex & Peggy Colonello Foundation.” said Pine Ridge Golf Club General Manager Jason Ludke. “Our historic course is in excellent condition and ready to test the skill, strategy, and sportsmanship of Manitoba’s finest junior golfers. We are honoured to partner with Golf Manitoba and look forward to delivering an exceptional, memorable championship experience for all competitors, families, and spectators.”
Pine Ridge will play to a par 72 for both the Boys and Girls Championships. The Boys will be tested at approximately 6,300 yards while the Girls will navigate approximately 5,600 yards.
“Pine Ridge will offer a true test of golf for these players” added Ludke. “Accuracy off the tee will be important and competitors will need to pay close attention to where they leave their approach shots. The undulation of the Donald Ross greens will play a factor and hitting shots to the middle on most greens will be an excellent strategy for all players this week.”
