TJGT Tyler Rose Invitational Recap brought to you by Morgan Stanley

Eagle's Bluff CC May 17th-18th 2008 The Tyler Morning Telegraph and SPORTyler pulled out all the stops as the TJGT came into town. Heavy press coverage in the week leading up to the event combined with a special 4-page insert featuring the TJGT and its top players, left no doubt in anyone¹s mind that the best junior golfers Texas has to offer were coming to town. One-hundred and eight players from 4 US States and Mexico teed it up in perfect golf weather in this nationally-ranked Golfweek event. Every player in the field was in for a surprise when they arrived to check in. Each player in the field received one dozen Nike ONE golf balls in their choice of black or platinum, a really cool pink (yes, pink!) TJGT Nike Dri-fit golf shirt, a Tyler Rose Invitational Nike Dri-fit cap, a Tyler Morning Telegraph umbrella, and a TJGT ³Play with the Best² t-shirt. Every mother in attendance received and mini-Tyler rose bush to plant when they get back home. That was only the beginning. All players and parents were treated to a wonderful hamburger or grilled chicken buffet lunch topped off with either peach cobbler or these absolutely incredible brownies before the 1:30pm shotgun start. While they were eating, TJGT CBM Director and winner of the 1980 Phoenix Open, Jeff Mitchell gave a College Bound Membership presentation followed by a College Golf Q & A. His 14 + years of D-1 head coach experience (at Stanford and Texas Tech) make him the perfect resource when it comes to answering your college golf questions. Ok, on to the action! Perfect weather + incredible golf course = great tournament action. All boys played the gold tees at just over 6,900 yards and all girls played the modified white tees about 5,700 yards.
