Could a seven event tour be put together? Would the juniors support it? Would they respond to an area Championship? Would the golf courses, in the region co-operate? Could a sponsor be found? Well, the answer to all those questions -- except for the sponsor -- is yes. Once all the information from Jim McDowell of the Accuform Tour - was received, and with the help of Tim McKeiver, professional at the Oshawa Golf Club, surrounding surrounding . area golf clubs were approached. approached. Everyone received the idea of a junior tour jvith open arms, and felt that it was an idea whose time had come. A group of interested people was brought together, and the concept got a resounding vote of confidence. A. meeting was held in early March, and it was decided to proceed proceed with the Tour. The result was a seven-event tour with a qualifying round.
