The nearly three dozen youngsters play in the MCJGA nine-hole league.

Their finals will be held Wednesday at Gentz’s Homestead Golf Course in Chocolay Township following a qualifying round for that was held at the Marquette Golf Club on Thursday. The MCJGA’s companion five-hole league is also scheduled to play its finals at the same place and day.

In each of 17 boys and girls nine-hole flights, the top two finishers will square off in match play, according to MCJGA vice president and nine-hole league secretary Karla McCutcheon. The third-place finisher will be an alternate if one of the qualifiers is unable to play.

Among the low scorers of the day were Jameson Sandstrom, who won the Boys 250 first flight with 36; Lincoln Sager, winner of the Boys Whites first flight with 37; and Adam Heikkila, who topped the Boys Reds first flight with 38.
