The USGA, wanting to recognize the best

young golfers in the country, created the

U. S. Junior Amateur Championship in

1948. In fact, their first tournament was

held in Ann Arbor at the University of

Michigan Golf Course, with Dean Lind

from Rockford, Illinois, beating a young

Ken Venturi in the final.

The USGA is bringing this national event

to Toledo’s iconic Inverness Club for the

2019 U.S. Junior Amateur. By hosting

this event, Inverness becomes the first

and only club to have hosted the U.S.

Open, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Amateur

and U.S. Junior Amateur Championships.

It has also been announced thatThe FirstTee of Lake Erie will benefit from the proceeds

of the event. Executive Director of The First

Tee of Lake Erie, Adam Reny said,

“The 2019 U.S. Junior Amateur

Championship continues the great

tradition at Inverness Club of hosting

high profile, world class tournaments.

With The First Tee of Lake Erie being

selected as the benefitting charity, we

look forward to assisting the Inverness

membership in successfully hosting

a great tournament, which will bring

worldwide attention to Toledo and

historic Inverness. The First Tee of Lake

Erie’s mission is to enhance children’s

lives through the game of golf and

we can think of no better event to

introduce the possibilities of what

golf can provide to our participants
