2020 Southern Junior Cup Cancellation Statement

 

HOOVER, AL (April 7, 2020) - After careful consideration and a collaborative review, the Alabama Golf Association in conjunction with the Arkansas State Golf Association, Mississippi Golf Association, and Missouri Golf Association made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Southern Junior Cup scheduled for August 3-5 at Shadow Valley Country Club in Rogers, AR. 

Ultimately, the challenges of rescheduling various events due to COVID-19 in an extremely compressed summer window while taking financial impacts to both families and associations into consideration led to this decision. Southern Junior Cup hosting rotation will move back one year with Arkansas hosting the 2021 event followed by Mississippi in 2022, Missouri in 2023 and Alabama in 2024.

We know the effects of this announcement will be met with some disappointment, but your understanding of the situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of the Southern Junior Cup and we wish you and your loved one’s health and safety.
