Red River Junior Golf is excited to announce the 1st Annual Invitational Junior Pro-Am to be held in partnership with the Texarkana Children Charities Open, July 12-15 in Texarkana.  This inaugural event will be open to junior golfers, both boys & girls, who have qualified through their performance in the Farmers Bank & Trust Junior Golf Tour held this spring.  The winners of each age group will have an opportunity to play nine holes with a professional golfer from the APT/WAPT prior to the Texarkana Children Charities Open.  Past players on the APT Tour include Scottie Scheffler, Will Zalatoris, Bubba Watson, Ryan Palmer, Kramer Hickock, Hayden Buckley, Chandler Phillips, and many more.

 “We are very excited about this opportunity for our kids,” said Fred Meisenheimer, Director of Red River Junior Golf.  “This is going to provide an experience for our kids they will always remember.”  Mark Van Herpen, Chairman of Texarkana Children Charities Open, commented, “We are always looking for new opportunities to grow our tournament and expand the reach to more people in the community.  This new Junior Pro-Am will allow us to reach another segment of the community that otherwise may not know about the tournament or the organizations it benefits.” 

Qualification for the Junior Pro-Am will be through the Farmers Bank & Trust Junior Golf Tour held this spring.  The FBTJGT is a series of five tournaments held at each of the local golf courses in Texarkana.  Registration is open to all junior golfers, 19 years of age or younger, who have not yet started their first year of college.  The nine-hole, stroke-play format is divided into age groups for both boys and girls.  Tee times are at 4 pm, during the week.
