Congratulations to the members of the Elite Junior Golf Program at
Chelsea Piers on their performance in yesterday’s exhibition match vs. the
Mosholu Junior Golf Program! The programs competed in a fourball matchplay at
the Mosholu Golf Course in the Bronx, with four groups of two from each side
pairing up against the opposing side. Despite the rain, everyone played well
& enjoyed the time on the course and the match ended in a draw, with both
sides winning two matches. This was the third match Chelsea Piers Elite Juniors
have played against Mosholu over the past two years, and a fourth match
is already scheduled for next fall.
