This summer is the 100th anniversary of the lone golf major hosted at Columbia Country Club, the 1921 U.S. Open.   The USGA awarded the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship to the historic club in Chevy Chase in part as a commemoration, but also as a return to the course that hosted the U.S. Boy’s Junior back in 2003 won by Brian Harman.  A field of 156 players from 13 countries, ranging in age from 18 to as young as 12 years old will compete in this 72nd year of the event, with the champion gaining exemption to the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open.

Head Pro, Bob Dolan & members of the committee for the event, Molly LeBlanc & Jesse McCollum joined the podcast to talk about what has gone into the preparation for the event, both on the course and off, the history of the club & what to expect for the players, attendees, and viewers of the weekend coverage on Golf Channel.
