Optimist Club of Erie

Throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad, more than 5,000 young golfers participate in the Optimist Junior Golf Program. Boys and girls, ages 10 – 18, compete in local tournaments and the best of these golfers go on to the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships. Noted as one of the largest and most prestigious junior golf events in the world, the championship is held every July at the PGA National Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Past participants in the Optimist Junior Golf program include Tiger Woods, Nancy Lopez, and Phil Mickelson.

In 2006 we sponsored 4 young people at the Boulder County Optimist Junior Golf Challenge held on Monday June 12 at Indian Peaks Golf Course. Tournament fees were $29.00 each which included green fees, driving range balls & hotdog lunch with soft drink.
