Grand Junction hosting boys golf tournament at 2016 state course

Next season, Bookcliff Country Club is set to host the Class 5A boys golf state tournament. As a way for teams to play the course prior to the state tournament, District 51 has set up a regular season tournament.

That tournament is set for Aug. 15, 2016, with a 10:30 a.m. shotgun start. It will be hosted by Grand Junction, Fruita Monument and Grand Junction Central.

The format will be an 18-hole stroke play event, and it is open to all 5A teams looking to take part. Teams can bring up to five players per team, with four out of the five scoring for the tournament. The cost is $100 per team, and that includes green fees and range balls.

For more information, or to RSVP, teams can email thomas.lefebre@d51schools.org.

The state tournament will be Sept. 26-27 at Bookcliff CC.
