RDGA Boys' Junior Player of the Year

The Rochester District Golf Association began its Junior Player of the Year Award in 2006 as a way to honor the year's top junior players - Boys AND Girls ages 12 through 18 - based on points earned from local, regional and national junior tournaments throughout the season.

Now in its 15th season, the RDGA Junior Player of the Year Award has been presented to several outstanding Junior players who have since gone on to become top amateurs - such as Pittsford's Gavin Hall - as well as a professional tour golfer (Dominic Bozzelli).

In 2018, a separate category was created for an annual RDGA Girls' Player of the Year Award, thus making the previous Junior Player of the Year the annual RDGA Boys' Junior Player of the Year Award. Any girls juniors who had previously won the Junior Player of the Year still appear on the past winners list.

Winning the 2019 RDGA Boys' Junior Player of the Year Award - for the second consecutive season - was Jeremy Summerson of Cobblestone Creek Country Club.

Summerson racked up 352 points in 2019, finishing 122 points ahead of Award runner-up Phillip Minnehan, winner of the 2019 RDGA Junior Boys Championship title.

Beginning this year, there will no longer be a points schedule for any of the five Player of the Year categories. Tracking of player performance will be done internally - with the ultimate decision of who wins Players of the Year honors being made by a select committee of golf community leaders in the Rochester area.
