The PGA Junior League season is in full swing and Coach Jimmy Kowalski’s 13-and-under ANCC All-Star Team is lighting up courses around Northern Virginia. The Team is stacked with talent as returning players Mason Dinh, Ryan Totte, Charlie Wisniewski, Sydney Dinh, Chase Evans, Max Gaston, Benjamin VanFossen, and Philip Verghese are joined by new members Nate Miller, Mitchell Moore, Dillon Parekh, and Jake Collins. The young golfers turned in strong performances during their Play Day matches at the 1757 Golf Club and the Laurel Hill Golf Club recently. ANCC members will have a chance to see them in action when Fairfax hosts an upcoming Play Day match on Thursday, 27 July. Prior to that, the team will travel to the Club at P.B. Dye for another Play Day match on Saturday, 22 July. Currently, the team is well-positioned for a spot in the Section Championship at Reston National Golf Course (16 & 17 August) and have a solid chance of advancing to the Regionals at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg (1-3 September). These young golfers are working hard to prepare for the upcoming matches so if you see them on the course or on the driving range, be sure to wish them good luck!
