The Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior is a national junior golf tournament conducted each year at Ellington Ridge Country Club in Ellington, Connecticut. The format for the event is 36-holes of stroke play. The tournament was founded in 2002 in memory of Stan Trojanowski, who died on August 21, 2001. The event is sanctioned by the US Challenge Cup and the Connecticut Section PGA. The 12th Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior will be played August 6–7, 2013. Eligibility is similar to that of the American Junior Golf Association. Junior golfers interested in playing must be under the age of 19 and must follow the USGA's guidelines for amateur status. Golfers must also have not entered their first year of college by the date of the event. The event is ranked by both the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings and the National Junior Golf Scoreboard. The winner of the event receives the Champions Trophy as well as multiple AJGA exemptions. The estimated purse for the event is $2,650, one of the highest purses offered for junior golf tournaments, but in order to preserve the amateur status of the players, all winnings are distributed in the form of pro shop credit. The tournament is one of the few junior tournaments in the country to offer PGA Tour-like live hole-by-hole scoring, standard bearers and an updated leaderboard. The tournament is also supported by Titleist, and each player receives Pro V1 golf balls as part of their tee gift. ==History== The Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior was established in 2002 in memory of Stan Trojanowski, father of Cindy Paladino and Gary Trojanowski. Stan Trojanowski died in August, 2001 due to Mesothelioma, a form of cancer resulting from exposure to Asbestos. A golfer himself, his personality and willingness to help others will never be forgotten in the people he met both on and off the golf course. Until 2009, the tournament had been open only to Boys and Girls who were members of a Connecticut Section PGA golf course, which included Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. For the 7 years that the tournament was a member of the Connecticut Section PGA Junior Golf Tour, the Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior was unquestionably the most prestigious event on the Tour. Since its beginning, the goal of the tournament has been to provide the same championship experience and red-carpet treatment that the best national events around the country offer. We have worked hard to integrate special amenities not seen at most tournaments, such as live tournament scoring, on course leaderboards, standard bearers, and up to the minute updates on the tournament website. The 2013 event, the 12th annual, will be a 36-hole event contested over two days at Ellington Ridge Country Club in Ellington, Connecticut on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 6th and 7th. The event will also be ranked by both the Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings and National Junior Golf Scoreboard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Trojanowski Northern Junior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
