E
l
Niguel's
PGA
Junior
League
team
went
to
Monarch
Beach
Golf
Links
on
a
beautiful
Sunday,
June
30,
and
completed
its
season
in
remarkable
fashion
–
undefeated!
The
team
tied
Monarch
Beach,
but
finished
in
first-place
in
its
divi-
sion
with
a
4-0-2
record.
This
means
El
Niguel
will
have
four
junior
players
rostered
on
a
10-player
All-Star
team
that
has
a
chance
to
com-
pete
at
a
national
level.
It
is
with
great
pride
that
I
will
lead
these
amazing
juniors
as
captain.
Our
team
will
compete
in
one
of
three
local
qualifiers
with
the
winning
team
from
each
advancing
to
the
Section
Championship.
Two
teams
will
advance
from
the
Alham-
bra
qualifier,
and
the
Section
Championship
will
be
held
August
24-25
at
Industry
Hills
Golf
Club.
It
has
been
extremely
rewarding
watching
the
teams
compete
and
develop
meaningful
friendships,
and
it
is
a
great
environment
for
these
kids
to
grow
up
in.
For
those
interested,
I
am
starting
up
a
new
league
in
August.
It
will
consist
of
Coto
de
Caza,
Mission
Viejo,
Talega,
Tijeras
Creek,
Monarch
Beach
and
Arroyo
Trabuco,
and
will
be
a
great
opportunity
for
juniors
to
gain
experi-
ence
on
the
course
and
to
make
new
friends.
If
you
have
a
junior
ages
8-17,
please
