John Paddock will be hosting the first year of our newest State Cup at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, NY. The Empire Cup is a unique junior golf event allowing competitive junior golfers the opportunity to showcase their golf talents while providing development in important life skills such as charitable giving, leadership and teamwork. Participants will gain a greater understanding and knowledge of the benefiting charities while being celebrated for their accomplishments. 


No Entry Fee:

While there is no entry fee to play in this tournament, every junior is responsible to raise at least $1,500 to be donated to The Margaret Home and the Liberty National ACE Grant. The overall goal of the juniors is to raise at least $30,000 together before the tournament begins.

This no cost program provides comprehensive services in a safe, welcoming environment as they build a bright future for themselves and their families. 

Liberty National ACE Grant:

Since 2003, the AJGA's ACE Grant program has funded the dreams of talented junior golfers who needed financial assistance to compete in national junior golf tournaments to earn college golf scholarships. The ACE Grant program is dedicated to helping junior golfers with the ability to play golf at the national level but lack the financial resources to do so.
