Ardmore, PA. – Registration is open at WeAreTheFifty.com for the inaugural We Are The Fifty presented by Mizuno Golf.

“We are new. We are innovative. And we are bringing the 50 states together for a unique junior golf championship, where the best junior golfers will have the opportunity to represent their home state like never before. After postponing due to the pandemic, we’re thrilled to be working with golf associations across the U.S. to accept invitations from their championship-level juniors, as well as filling out state teams with boys and girls seeking a national stage to test their game,” said Ari Flaisher, We Are The Fifty founder. “If your local golf organization has a top player who would take pride in competing under his or her state flag and becoming an All-American champion, we encourage them to consider adding We Are The Fifty to their fall schedule.”
