The Dallas Junior Golf Championship is a competition open to all boys and girls ages 7-18 as of the starting date. Players do not have to be Dallas residents nor do they need to qualify to participate. College players 18 and under are eligible.
The Dallas Junior Golf Championship is the oldest continuously run junior golf tournament in the state of Texas. The winner of each flight will be the Junior Dallas City Champion of his or her division for 2018. The name of the winners of the Open Division Championship, both boys and girls, will be added to the Dallas Junior Golf Championship Trophy along with other champions including Don January, Ralph Guldahl, Chip Stewart, Larry Thomas and Robbie Skinner.
In 1924 Jere Hayes, sportswriter for the Dallas Times Herald, put together a contest that would allow boys to play in a golf tournament to determine the best in Dallas regardless of socioeconomic level. The tournament was originally played over an entire week and at the end a champion in each age division would be crowned. In 1963 a girls division was added. With a few modifications, the tournament is still true to his vision 94 years later. Since 2001 the tournament has been sponsored by the Exchange Club of East Dallas.
