The Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills was established in 2003. Since that time it has played host to some of North and South Carolina's top junior golfers. The Joe Cheves competition date will always be the weekend after Labor Day.

The JCJI was conceived to not just be another junior golf tournament. It's not a first-come, first-served entry process. The concept was to hold an event that players had to earn their way to play. In essence, bringing together an elite field. A set of qualifying criteria was formed with help from the Carolinas Golf Association and the Tarheel Youth Golf Association.

The idea was presented to the Mimosa Hills Board of Directors in February 2003 and they unanimously endorsed the tournament. The only thing the Board insisted was that the official name of this event be: The Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills.

Joe Cheves was head pro at Mimosa Hills from 1951-1981. He's a member of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, as well as the Carolina PGA and Carolinas Golf Halls of Fame. Cheves, who passed away on July 31st, 2007, at age 89, loved Mimosa Hills with all his heart and soul. He was a strong advocate and supporter of junior golfers for 70 years. We hope you have the chance one day to be a player at the Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills.

2003 Final Scores (Sept. 6-7)

After finishing 36-holes of play, deadlocked at 146 (2-over), US Junior Qualifiers Kandy Carland (72-74) of Etowah, NC and Blythe Worley (71-75) of Greenville, NC settled the issue in a playoff for top honors at the first annual Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills in Morganton, NC. In the ensuing sudden-death playoff, Carland sank a 10 foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to defeat Worley, the reigning CGA North Carolina Junior Champion. Corrine Carr of Pinehurst, NC (76-71) finished one shot back.

Two-time CGA North Carolina Junior Champion Barden Berry of Kinston, NC won the inaugural Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills in Morganton, NC. Berry toured the 1929 Donald Ross designed course in five-under for the 36-hole event, shooting 71-68. Finishing second was 2003 Carolinas Junior Player of the Year Vince Hatfield (70-71) of Greenwood, SC. Weston Way of Liberty, NC, the 2001 CGA Carolinas Junior Champion, took third (71-71).
