Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. Aug 8, 2018 –The storied golf courses at BallenIsles Country Club, where many golf legends originally qualified for the PGA Tour played host to golf’s next generation of male and female rising stars during the 2018 BallenIsles Junior Cup.
BallenIsles historic championship East Course, where legendary players like Jack Nicklaus, Julius Boros and Sam Snead won PGA Championships, was the fitting setting on August 4 – 5, 2018 for the Ryder Cup format tournament.
28 accomplished, local junior golfers competed during the invitation-only event, which also attracted local TV network affiliate coverage.
UPDATE: New York, NY August 10, 2018 – The Club was delighted that the BallenIsles 7th Annual Junior Cup photograph and headline were displayed in the news feed rotation on the 7,400 sq ft Reuters Sign in Times Square. The Reuters Sign soars 23 stories above Times Square, and is one of the world’s largest digital display systems. The billboard features a rolling roster of photos throughout each day accompanied by news release headlines.
Besides the “wow” factor of seeing their content on this huge display in an iconic location, with daily traffic of more than 400,000 people, this also presented an opportunity to boost social engagement by sharing the Times Square imagery on even more social channels.
“We’re very grateful to our sponsors Cleveland Golf and Srixon for helping us roll out the red carpet again on a superb event for these accomplished Junior Golfers,” said Jeff Fitzherbert, BallenIsles Director of Golf.
A demo day with Cleveland Golf and Srixon presented the juniors with an opportunity to try the latest in golf equipment, while a pairings party determined an “East” and “West” team.
