The 38th Fecchio Junior Cup is scheduled for this Thursday, December 18th & Friday, December 19th at the Turtle Hill Golf Club.
There will be a new champion this year as defending champion Oliver Betschart will be off island on a family vacation.
A large field has registered with most of the top junior golfers in the field. The 2023 champion, Camilo Legere, will be looking to challenge once again along with Arman Newton, who captured the Tucker’s Point Club Championship a few weeks ago. Johnny Bart will also be in the hunt as he finished on top of the leaderboard at the last BGA event that was held at Turtle Hill in November.
Sa-Qui Robinson, just back from his first term at the prestigious Mike Bender Golf Academy in Orlando will be another one to watch. The steady Lewis MacFarlane will be playing up a division as he is 12 years old but with a handicap index of 4.6 is one to keep an eye on as his short game could flourish at the short par 3 course.
The 43-player field will be divided into 5 divisions based on handicap index, age and level.
The Blue Division is the Championship Division with 17 players aged 15+ with a handicap index of -12. The White Division has 9 players between the ages of 12-14 with a handicap index between 12 to 18. The Red Division has 5 players between ages 11-12 with handicap index of +18. These three divisions will be playing stroke play over 36 holes.
The Gold (Under 11 yrs) and Yellow Division (Over 11 yrs) will be playing the Stableford Format. These divisions are for those golfers that don’t have an established handicap index and are just getting into playing tournament golf.
