The 2023 Rick Vieth Junior Four Ball
Saturday, December 2nd & Sunday, December 3rd
The Fort Club
In the 1995, Rick Vieth created The Junior 4-Ball Golf Tournament because at the time there were no 4-Ball events for juniors to compete in. Rick loved playing in 4-Ball events with his friends across the state and felt it was time that juniors got to experience the team side of the game of golf. So, he created the event and ran it from 1995 to 2019 at Pebble Creek Golf Course. In 2019 they stopped playing the event because juniors could not receive state ranking points for a team event. In 2022, First Tee — Upstate South Carolina and SCJGA decided to bring the event back and to rename it The Rick Vieth Junior 4-Ball! They also decided that it would be best to bring it to The Fort Club in Ninety Six, SC, as Rick’s stepson bought the golf course just a few months earlier. Also, the First Tee — Upstate South Carolina wanted to expand into to Greenwood County.
We are excited for the second year of the newly formed Rick Vieth Junior 4-Ball in partnership with SCJGA and The Fort Club and know that it will be a memorable experience for the juniors competing and how it will ultimately help to continue to grow the game in Greenwood County.
