This year, the AJGA hosted the standard Mahoning Valley Hospital Foundation Junior All Star event with the addition of an AJGA Preview Event, allowing the course to host two, 54-hole tournaments with 100 player qualifiers. The tournament brought in more than 40 college golf coaches to recruit players.
“It’s a great way to showcase the MetroParks and the golf course, all while giving back to our local community,” Brian Tolnar, PGA golf director, said in the release.
The event has brought nearly $2 million to the community through hotel stays, dining, rental cars, shopping and entertainment spending, the release states.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for the work that we are doing to impact the local community and the dedication demonstrated by the Golf & Recreation Department here at Mill Creek MetroParks,” Aaron Young, Mill Creek MetroParks executive director, said.
