NOPGA JUNIOR EVENTS

The Northern Ohio Professional Golfers Association has a complete series of events throughout the summer for junior golfers culminating in the Kenny Novak Junior Tour Championship set for July 28 and 29 at Barrington Golf Club in Aurora.

The championship has been held since its start at Club Walden in Aurora however Walden is undergoing construction and updating of greens and fairways this summer.

Leading to that event, Windmill Golf Course will host a 36-hole event sponsored by the Northern Ohio PGA on Monday and Tuesday.
