The 11th Portage County Kids Amateur teed off at Sunny Hill Golf Course on Sunday, with kids from age 5 to just entering high school competing in several age divisions.

The event, which is designed to be a first tournament experience for most, is a fun time for the golfers competing, as well as the parents and grandparents watching and the high school girls and boys walking with the golfers to help with rules and scoring.

Based on their age, youth golfers played four, six or nine holes as they prepare for future competitions and hone their skills.

Competed at Sunny Hill Golf Course in Brimfield, on the middle nine, golfers enjoy an audience as well as parents, grandparents and families come to cheer and encourage the golfers.

Many of the girls play in the Kent Roosevelt Little Girls program while others came from across northeat Ohio to enjoy the tournament.
