Shaker Run Golf Club in Lebanon, Ohio features a 27 hole championship golf course. The original two nines of Lakeside and Woodlands were designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1979. The third nine, Meadows, was added in 1999. The course offers bent grass fairways, tees and greens, and has water hazards that come into play on 14 holes, plus a full service range with practice area. Recognized by Golf Digest as the #2 Public Golf Course in Ohio, Shaker Run has hosted many notable golf events including the Kroger Senior Tournament Qualifier, Nike Miami Valley Tournament, The 1988 Ohio Amateur Championship and The 2005 US Amateur Public Links Championship.
The PJGT players at the FCGA Cedar City Junior at Shaker Run Golf Club were welcomed with perfect weather after 1½ hour frost delay on Saturday. 111 juniors teed it up and the Boys and Girls 12-19 Divisions were in pursuit of an AJGA exemption.
Adam Wood, Boys 14-15 Division was the Overall Boys Division winner of the exemption with scores of 78-67=145. His 67 included 5 birdies, 13 pars, and NO BOGEYS! This was definitely one of the best rounds on the PJGT! Brett Rinker was close behind with a 148 and Alec Tahy came in third with a 150.
The Girls 15-19 Division had a few college coaches watching them, adding to the excitement. Mackenzie Moir shot 73-83=156 to win the Overall Girls Division and took home the AJGA exemption. Morgan Ranson took second with a 161, closely followed by Erin Michel with a 162. The girls did an outstanding job of playing under pressure!
Andrew Mayhew won the Boys 10-11 Division as well as the Weekend Medalist award for all 8-11 divisions with scores of 82-80=162.
Zachary Smith’s score of 156 took first place honors in the Boys 12-13 Division by only two shots over Saturday medalist Billy Tom Sargent. Daniel Wetterich won the playoff for third as he and Kirran Magowan both shot a 163.
In a three-way tie in the Boys 16-19 Division for Saturday Medalist Nate Yankovich pulled it out on Sunday with scores of 75-71=146. Todd McDaniel placed second with a 150 and Jack Schlemmer took third with a 156.

On Sunday the Boys 8-9 Division, Holden Scribner and Brennan Dolnick joined the Girls 8-11 Division, Mallory Lovell and Sammi Blackburn on the back nine and played in a foursome. They still kept up with the pace of play and looked like they had fun. We can all take a lesson from them. Holden took first place with scores of 87-98=185 and Mallory was the first place winner with scores of 96-99=195. Congratulations to all!
