Junior golfers of all abilities are invited to attend the second annual Riley Olson Junior Golf Day on Aug. 7 at Hiland Golf Club.

Golfers from ages 7-15 are welcome. The event will include two sessions, one for junior golfers with limited or no golfing experience and a second session for junior golfers who have either played golf before or have a basic understanding of the game. Both sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be coordinated by members of The SUNY Adirondack College Golf Team. 

The event honors Riley Olson, who graduated from Queensbury High School in 2011. While a student at SUNY Adirondack, Olson passed away from an accident.

Registration is free but limited to 75 participants. To register and for further information, contact Mike Carpenter, SUNY Adirondack golf coach, at RileyJuniorGolfDay@gmail.com.
