WJGT Competes in Casper
On June 29th, 64 junior golfers from across
the state met at Three Crowns Golf Club
in Casper to vie for the WJGT Central
Regional Stroke Play Title. High temperatures
and low scores were the theme of the
day on the challenging par 72 layout.
Emily Podlesny of Green River turned in
an 18-hole score of 79 to take home the
girl’s title. Two strokes behind
at 81 was Bri Sweeny of Worland, followed
by Emily Woodard of Cheyenne with a score
of 85.
It took extra holes to decide the boy’s
overall champion as Cameron Lindell and
Brandon Metzger, both of Sheridan, finished
the day tied at two over par 74. Lindell
prevailed with a par on the first playoff
hole.

WSGA Crowns First Champion of 2009
Olive Glenn Golf & Country Club was
the site of the 33rd WSGA Match Play Championship.
Low scores were the theme as eight players
shot par 72 or better on Thursday's championship
qualifying round. Defending champion, Gabe
Maeir of Cody, paced the field with a round
of 7-under 65 to grab medalist honors and
the number one seed.
With wins over Barry King, Eddie
Stewart and Morgan
Splichal, Klinton
Krieger of
Cheyenne made his way to the championship
final where he faced Clinton Boutelle of
Cody. In a match that was all square through
16 holes, Krieger won the 17th and 18th
for a 2-up victory. This was Krieger's second WSGA Championship to go along with
his 2006 WSGA Junior Amateur Title.

All WSGA/WJGT Championships
Open for Entry The busy 2009 tournament season
is just around the corner and all 14 WSGA/WJGT

for those using online tournament entry;
first, you must have an active GHIN Number

you are active on the GHIN System, contact
your club and they will be able to give you
that information.
Second, if you are a junior golfer wanting
to compete in any of the WJGT Regional Events
or the State Junior Amateur Championship,
you must enroll in the WJGT Membership Program.
You do this by creating an account at the
