SCPGA Junior Tour

CURTIS CUP PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Beginning in 1965, the Southern California Junior Golf Association began awarding the Curtis Cup to the player or players who displayed the best character, integrity, sportsmanship, scholastic achievement, golfing ability and golf accomplishment.

In 1987, the SCPGA Junior Golf Association began to choose both a boys and girls All-Southern California Junior Team to recognize the top golfers from among all of Southern California’s junior ranks.  Since 1965, the perceived best boy and girl from the All-Southern California Junior Teams has been named the Curtis Cup Player of the Year.

LOU BASTANCHURY AWARD
During the years that Lou Bastanchury was chairman and president of the Southern California Junior Golf Association, he made it a point to attend as many of our tournaments as possible.  When it was decided in 1989 to create an award for the boy and girl who earned the most points in our Metropolitan Tour events, it was natural to name it after Mr. Bastanchury.

ARNOLD PALMER & DINAH SHORE AWARD
The Desert Junior Golf Program created the ARNOLD PALMER AWARD and the DINAH SHORE AWARD which is given to the boy and girl with the most points earned during the season.  For the boys, the award is named after the man who earned 60 PGA Tour titles and seven major championships, Arnold Palmer.  Palmer evokes all that is good about the game: sportsmanship, honor, diligence, spirit, work ethic and dedication.  For the girls, the award is named after the “First Lady of Golf” and the only non-golfer elected to the LPGA Hall of Fame, Dinah Shore.  Shore, a great ambassador of women’s golf, is known for her connection to the LPGA Tour “major” event in the Desert.

Howard Smith, former SCPGA Section President, and great supporter of junior golf, served on the SCPGA Junior Golf Advisory Board for over 30 years. Smith was named SCPGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1963, 1967, and 1969 and received the President’s Award in 1998.

He had always been a dedicated promoter of junior golf and helped the SCPGA in its mission of providing juniors with “a place to play.” It is only natural that we name this prestigious Tour Cup Series award after Mr. Smith.
