ANNOUNCEMENTS

4/9/2024

FROM:  ACE GOLF FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

TO:  WESTERN SLOPE JUNIOR GOLFERS, THEIR PARENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

SUBJECT:  CLARIFICATION REGARDING 2024 WESTERN SLOPE JUNIOR GOLF EVENTS

Greetings!  This summer there are some new and exciting changes to the Western Slope junior golf scene.  For starters, what was known for years as the Ace Golf Foundation High School Tour will now be produced by the Colorado PGA junior tour under their name.  That, along with the recent announcement of a second Western Slope junior tour may be causing some understandable confusion about this summer’s junior golf events.

For example, the newly formed West Chapter Jr. Aces Tour recently published an announcement that included a statement that their tour series, which commences this summer, was “formerly known as the Ace Junior Golf Foundation Tournament Series.”   Because that statement is inaccurate, potentially misleading and undoubtedly confusing, the Ace Golf Foundation Board of Directors has decided to issue the following clarification statement.  

Ace Golf Foundation is still very much alive and active and is proud to announce that it has recently partnered with the Colorado PGA Section to assist in producing a 2024 junior golf tournament series which includes nine events on the Western Slope!   Included in this partnership is the opportunity for kids needing financial assistance to receive grant monies available upon request and application.  For details and information  go to our website:  Ace Golf Foundation of Western Colorado  or contact us at [email protected].  For more information about the Colorado PGA Section’s junior golf program go to https://juniorgolf.coloradopga.com. 

The West Chapter Jr. Aces Tour’s name, format and schedule is very similar to the old Ace Golf Foundation’s High School Tour.   However, the two programs are not affiliated with each other.  

Ace Golf Foundation wholeheartedly welcomes and supports the inaugural West Chapter Jr. Aces Tour!  With their arrival, Western Slope junior golfers now have more competitive golf opportunities than ever before!  Kids can now participate in one or both of the programs!

We hope this clears up any confusion or questions and are excited about these changes and additions and look forward to seeing the kids and their parents at this summer’s events!
