The WSCGA Junior Foundation hosts an annual High School
Invitational for girls’ teams throughout South Carolina.
Teams are invited to bring 4 players and any individuals to
participate. Girls whose school does not have a team are
invited to participate as Individuals.
Cathy Hill, the Foundation’s Secretary, says the WSCGA
Junior Foundation Board started this event because they
“realized that there was an untapped pool of young girls who
are never really exposed to a real junior golf tournament.
Many young girls start playing in high school and have never
touched a club before they come to the team. Many of the
parents have never played golf before and there’s not much
opportunity for the girls to improve their game. They often
feel they aren't good enough to participate in the normal
summer tournaments. Most would never have the chance to
play in a two day event such as this tournament, as normally
they only play 9 hole matches. We wanted to reach a broader
population of girls from all backgrounds and experience levels

event.
