He looks to become only the sixth player to repeat as Tennessee Junior Amateur Champion. Shore finds himself in the final pairing Thursday alongside Nottingham and Sears and will tee off at 10:00am at Cleveland Country Club for Thursday’s Final Round. Junior Amateur History In 1964 Harold Eller, professional at Old Hickory Country Club, and his wife, Ruth, organized the Tennessee Junior Golf Association and hosted the Tennessee State Junior for boys and girls. Mrs. Eller was the president of the TJGA from its inception until it was absorbed by the TGA in 2000. The first TJGA State Junior champion was the Ellers’ match play, but since 1966 stroke play has been used. The name of each State Junior champion is inscribed on the Harold Eller Trophy.
