The Summer Grove Medalist 17u All-Stars are headed to the PGA Jr. League National Championship after earning a Regional victory and advancing as Team Georgia.
The Summer Grove team, representing Summer Grove Golf Club in Newnan, entered match play as the No. 2 seed after finishing Saturday’s qualifying scramble rounds at 27-under.
In Sunday’s semifinal, Summer Grove earned a 6.5-5.5 victory over the Bluffton A 17u All-Stars to advance to the championship match. The team then secured its spot at Nationals with a 9-3 victory over the Tanglewood Team 1 17u All-Stars.
The win marks Summer Grove’s first trip to the 17u PGA Jr. League Championship. The team will represent Georgia at Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, Oct. 22-25.

Georgia also had another memorable moment during the Regional, as 10-year-old Jackson Trotter of the Augusta Country Club 13u All-Stars recorded a hole-in-one on No. 7 during Saturday’s play.
Congratulations to Summer Grove and all of our Georgia PGA Jr. League players on a great showing at Regionals!
