On a morning that was forecasted to be spattered with rain showers, the skies held off and allowed many area children to play in the junior tournament hosted by Wedgewood Golf Club Tuesday morning.

Sixteen children showed up to participate in the event  and were separated into different age groups based on age. While golfers in the younger groups played only the front nine holes, golfers in the older age ranges golfed all 18 holes.

Tee times were staggered by 10 minutes and all age groups teed off from hole No. 1.
