Aquafina Junior Series @ Mahan Manor Golf & Hunt Club

Wow! What a facility Mahan Manor Golf & Hunt Club is - from the 200 year old cabin, to the "in-the-middle-of-nowhere" feel, to the design and layout of the golf course - what a fabulous experience. The course itself was opened in September of 2009 when it hosted a match between J.B. Holmes and John Daly.

In addition to the great facility - we had great weather! The temperature was in the low 60's and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The winds were whipping, which affected the players' shots, but there were still some very good scores for the course/conditions.

A complete listing of players and their scores are available on the "Events" section of our junior golf website.

The KGA-PGA, Inc. staff would like to thank Mahan Manor Golf & Hunt Club and PGA Apprentice Kris Kleinsasser for their efforts in hosting the event. We would like to also thank fellow KGA-PGA, Inc. staff member, Barbara Peak for her assistance before, during, and after the event. Special thanks to PGA Apprentice Tommy Brummett and Henry Clay High School student Ben Simpson for volunteering their time to assist.
