Bryan Park to Host 2nd Bill Harvey Memorial
The Tarheel Youth Golf Association Triad Chapter and Precision Golf are pleased to announce that Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center will host the second Bill Harvey Memorial Junior on October 27-28, 2018. The event will be a 36-hole stroke play tournament for boys and girls ages 12-18 that have not started college. Both the Player's and Champion's courses at Bryan Park will be used for this annual junior tournament.
The Bryan Park complex includes 36 holes of championship golf, a golf practice and learning facility, pro shop, grill and the 22,000 square foot Bryan Enrichment Center, available for meetings, weddings and special events. The Players Course is a great fit golfers of all abilities offering generous fairways and greens with its own unique set of challenges.
