2010 Betty Bergreen Junior Championship

History
|
|
One of Mrs. Betty Bergreen’s last wishes was to promote junior golf at the Bartlett Country Club. She wanted to bring “new blood” to the course so the juniors can appreciate the beauty of the grounds and clubhouse as she did for over 50 years. Mrs. Bergreen was an avid golfer who won many
local and regional tournaments during her golf career, including the SWNY-NWPA
Woman's Amateur Championship and the Bartlett Country Club Women's Club
Championship (6 times). She felt that the Bartlett Country Club was one of the finest courses that she has played, and she played many courses all over the country. She wanted to have a junior tournament at the Bartlett Country Club with one of the benefits being that the juniors potentially could be asked to become junior members,
thereby bringing in “new blood” to play our great course. Mrs. Bergreen felt strongly that the youth are the future of the club and will be our future members.
The establishment of this tournament will help fulfill her wishes for years to come.

Eligibility
|
All Penn York Junior Golf League golfers (male and
female) are eligible to play who are in the 14 and older age groups. This would
include graduating seniors who are 18 years old or younger as of June 21, 2010.
An entry form is available from the Penn York Junior Golf League web site.
Please indicate on the entry form if you are planning on playing in the Bergreen
Championship if you qualify.
The 16 qualifiers will be determined by using the lowest 16 scoring averages from the five Penn-York tournaments.
Qualifiers must play in at least 2 Penn-York tournaments and the scoring
average will be determined by using the player's 2 lowest scores. Phone calls will be made to those that qualify after the final Penn-York tournament to invite them to play and confirm their ability to play. Players must confirm their playing in the Championship by August 5th. If players do not confirm by that date, the players with the next lowest scores will be invited to play. Players will be seeded according to their averages. Ties will be broken by the lowest scores in the latest Penn-York tournament.

Prizes
|
Mrs. Bergreen was a firm believer in friendships after a competitive round. She liked to have a good lunch with her competitor after a hard fought match. Win or lose -- friendships were the most important things she believed in. Her friendships lasted many decades. Therefore, after each match, the competitors will have a lunch on Mrs. Bergreen in the Bartlett Country Club Grille.
Trophies will be awarded to the match play champion and runner up. Prizes will also be awarded to players that win a match or matches in the tournament.
