The Pahrump Valley Junior Golf Association, for more than 25 years one of the prime developers of young players, experienced a couple of banner days at the Lakeview Executive course.

With temperatures soaring as high as 108 degrees both Monday and Tuesday, 50 boys and girls ages 7 to 18 competed in Gene Goins Memorial, the season-ending PVJGA tournament of the season.

The tournament, co-directed by Larry and Elaine Goins of the PVJGA, featured many outstanding scores in all age groups.

The 7-8 and 9-11 age groups played nine holes each day, while the 12-14s and 15-18s went 18 holes both days on the par 59 (60 girls), 3,600-yard course.

The winners:

* Jackie Stobbe, girls 7-8, 49-43--92;

* Tyler Floyd, boys 7-8, 44-46--90;

* Courtney Jersic, girls 9-11, 53-49--102;

* Derek Moore, boys 9-11, 36-39--75;

* Tori Peers, girls 12-14, 77-81, 158;

* Samuel Tietjen, boys 12-14, 64-65--129;

* Ashley Keller, girls 15-18, 69-68--137;

* Shane Lindemann, boys 15-18, 61-61--122.

Floyd is the son of Julie Floyd, the girls' golf coach at Pahrump Valley High School; Moore has been one of the leading younger players in golf for the last three years; Tietjen has been working hard on improving his game; Keller won the $5,000 PVJGA scholarship and will enroll in the PGA Management course at UNLV in the fall; Lindemann, on the PVHS boys' golf team, has played in three consecutive state tournaments.

Playing conditions were not the best, not only because of the weather. Water had to be brought in -- at a cost of about $1,000 -- each day. The 2009-2010 season is to start in September and continue each Monday until June, when the annual mandatory clinic is held at Mountain Falls.
