The future of golf was on full display this summer, and two Youth on Course members were at the center of it. As Youth on Course Month comes to a close, we're celebrating two members who reached the pinnacle of junior golf this summer.
Youth on Course members Clairey Lin of Canada and Noah MacLauchlan of Virginia, captured two of the golf’s most prestigious junior championships.
In the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship, Clairey Lin delivered a remarkable performance from start to finish. After earning medalist honors in stroke play, she continued her impressive run through match play to claim the championship title. Clairey has played more than 100 rounds as a Youth on Course member, and her victory reflects years of dedication to her craft and a passion for the game.

Just days later, Noah MacLauchlan added his name to golf history by winning the 78th U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. Noah battled through one of the strongest fields in junior golf, advancing through match play and ultimately securing the championship to earn exemptions into some of amateur golf's biggest events.
Their victories are a fitting reminder of what Youth on Course is all about: creating opportunities for young people to play, develop their skills, and pursue their dreams in and outside of golf.
As we celebrate another month of impact, we're proud to recognize Clairey and Noah for their incredible achievements and grateful to the supporters, donors, and partners who help make journeys like theirs possible.
