Southern Vermont’s Premier Golf Course Welcomes Rising Talent from Six States
MANCHESTER, VT — Manchester Country Club, one of southern Vermont’s premier golf courses, will host the 2022 New England Junior Amateur Invitational August 8-10, 2022.
The 54-hole invitational event includes 60 golfers — 10 junior golfers (7 boys, 3 girls) from each of the New England state golf associations – Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont – who are selected to compete in a 54-hole team and individual stroke play competition.
MCC’s championship golf course offers a spectacular design, dramatic elevation changes and the region’s best greens.
“We are excited and honored to host this group of talented young golfers here at Manchester CC. It will bring 60 of the most passionate and dedicated young players and their families to our town and club for three days,” said Pete Weatherby, Head Golf Professional at MCC, who oversees MCC’s junior golf program.
This is a great opportunity for the community and our membership to see the passion of truly inspired junior golfers and could be the spark Junior golf in Vermont has been searching for!”
Weatherby was recently named Chair of the Vermont PGA’s Junior Golf Program and has also led Manchester CC to industry honors as the Top Merchandiser in Vermont for 2021 as MCC operations experienced a 35 percent increase in retail sales.
“Pete’s enthusiasm and energy for golf, and particularly junior golf, has energized our program and membership and attracted a new demographic to our membership. We’re thrilled to welcome these young players and their families to experience Manchester,” added Michelle Dougherty, CCM General Manager/COO, MCC.
Spectators are welcome and invited to walk the course to watch some of the region’s best junior amateurs.
