The 2019 Greatest Golfer of the Valley is on a 7-day march to deadline for stroke, scramble, 2-player, Par 3 and long-drive championships.

Signups need to be complete by next week for play that begins Monday, Aug. 12 at The Lake Club with the Coors Light Greatest Scramble championship.

A trend we love every year is when the recent high school grads cross right over in their first summer of adult eligibility into the 54-hole Farmers National Bank stroke play event — our signature gathering.

This year might be our best crossing over yet.

We shared that Poland’s Jenna Jacobson — a state golf finalist — is the first female golfer to play right after high school.

Joining her on the men’s side is 3-time state qualifier Cole Christman of Boardman High School and bound for YSU golf. With him will be Campbell’s Dean Austalosh, a 2019 state finalist who is headed to YSU. South Range golfer Patrick Kennedy — bound for Kent State — will also make his adult debut. Poland graduate Jake Snyder will tee it off before heading to Princeton.

Greatest’s next generation is ready to go.
