There will be some new faces on next year’s roster, as All-Star golfers Wisniewski, Totte, Connor, and Parekh have reached the max age for the 13U team. The four veterans brought deep talent and tournament experience that the next Director of Junior Golf will need to replace. Fortunately, the All-Star Team has a deep bench with Vaughn, Coffee, Miller, and Polsinelli, as well as current All-Star team members Isaac Melles, Ella Turner, Grant Lucio, Ben Bromer, Chris Szymanski, Colin Puffer, Catherine VonFossen, Colin Williams, Jackson Anderson, and Lukas Sanders, all of whom contributed to another successful season. The All-Star Team’s accomplishments were recognized at the Junior Golf Awards ceremony held September 28th, where trophies were also awarded for the PGA JR Spring Regular Season, the Junior Tour Championship, and the Parent-Child Scramble.

ANCC All-Stars Make Another Run at PGA JR Regional Championship The 13U ANCC All-Star team turned in a remarkable performance at the PGA JR Regional Championship in early September, advancing to the semi-finals for the second time in the club’s history. The team was one of eight clubs battling it out at the two-day Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship hosted by the Maple Dale Country Club in Dover, Delaware. At stake: a trip to the PGA JR National Championship in Frisco, Texas. Coach Jimmy Kowalski brought a mix of tournament veterans and newcomers to Dover this year with a strong lineup of pairings. The Day One format was a two-person 18-hole scramble stroke play, with each club fielding four twosomes. The top four teams with the best cumulative stroke play total would advance to a second-day semifinal. The ANCC All-Star pairings were Charlie Wisniewski and Dillon Parekh, Ryan Totte and Brooks Coffee, Conner Vaughn and Nate Miller, and Robbie Conner and Jackson Polsinelli. Despite the tough wind, ANCC had a strong showing, posting a team total of eight under par to land in fourth place and secure a trip to the semifinals the next day. Day Two of the tournament was match play, and ANCC squared off against a familiar Regional foe—Fiddler’s Elbow out of Bedminster, New Jersey. Coach Jimmy stuck with his Day One pairings, but unfortunately, Fiddlers Elbow outlasted the ANCC All-Stars in rainy conditions to take the match. Afterwards, Coach Jimmy praised his golfers for battling a tough competitor in difficult weather conditions and called the team “top to bottom” the best he’s ever coached. This was the team’s fourth consecutive appearance at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals and a bittersweet one for the Director of Junior Golf, who has stepped into the role of ANCC’s Head Golf Professional. Over his 13-year career, Coach Jimmy has built one of the strongest junior golf programs in the region and established the ANCC All-Star team as a perennial contender in the PGA JR Mid-Atlantic league.
