Junior Golf Faces Uncertain Future In Aiken
Aiken’s storied junior golf program appears on hold as the Southern Cross tournament ends. Kennedy and Aiken middle schools play limited schedules, Ellenton Middle has no team, and the old junior high conference is discontinued. Retired and present pros helped build the program, including McNair and Lucas, with many players feeding into high school and college teams. Hope rests on district changes and school support to revive the old conference.
