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.

Seneca (SC) High school sophomore Austin Ernst cruised to an easy victory at the Joe Cheves Junior Invitational @ Mimosa Hills. Ernst fashioned a three-under par total of 141 with rounds of 70-71. Her nearest challenger was Meghan Moore of Bahama, NC with 78-71=149. Eight shots back to begin the final round, Moore started birdie-birdie-eagle and was five-under through eight holes. She got to within three shots of Ernst, but a double-bogey on the difficult par three ninth hole ended her chance to catch the unflappable Ernst.
