LAKE MARY, FL (July 23, 2018) – Timacuan Golf & Country Club is hosting the Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream Junior All-Star this week. The tournament is an official event on the American Junior Golf Association calendar.
The AJGA is conducting the 54-hole junior competition Tuesday through Thursday on the highly acclaimed Ron Garl layout. The public is invited to watch the action free of charge. Tee times for the 78-player field will start at 7:45 a.m. each day. Players from as far away as New Zealand, China and Germany have qualified for this tournament for boys and girls aged 12-15.
“We are always excited to showcase our golf course to some of the game’s most promising junior golfers,” said Timacuan Director of Golf Eric Cannon. “Our Mini-Verde greens have received rave reviews for their consistency, and the rest of the course has rounded into fine shape this summer. I know these top junior players will enjoy it.”
Timacuan has been among the most popular tournament courses in Central Florida since opening in 1988. It has been ranked as high as No. 14 in Florida, and has hosted dozens of national and international competitions. U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell is among its fans.
“I really enjoyed the golf course,” said McDowell, after playing in the $10,000 Timacuan Scramble in January. “It is a great layout with a links-like feel to it. It can be testy in places if you get off the beaten path, but it is a very fair course.”
The Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream is based at Timacuan, and is headed by world-renowned golf instructor Sean Foley. It is home to several top international junior players, some of whom will be in the field this week. Foley’s Performance Academy offers training to all levels of golfers. The main focus is providing junior golfers a unique opportunity to develop big match temperament through elite golf training with world-class academics.
