THE 2021 DYE JUNIOR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP AT CROOKED STICK
The mission of “The Dye” is to honor the legacy of champion golfers and world-renowned course designers Pete & Alice Dye. The Dyes gave birth to Crooked Stick Golf Club in 1964 and made their home alongside its 18th fairway for many decades. To honor Pete and Alice, the club’s membership has created an annual Junior Invitational featuring national elite junior players. The inaugural championship was just completed with Laney Frye and John Marshall Butler, both from Kentucky, earning first-place finishes.

Players are allowed to carry their own clubs, use a pushcart (we have Sun Mountain Speed carts Available at no cost), or use a caddie.

Extra Details
Private housing will also be available for all players and their families who choose that option. Our partners, including Titleist, Footjoy and Polo Golf are supporting the championship to help make it a memorable event for each of you. Another unique element to “The Dye” is players will be allowed to have caddies. Club caddies along with caddies from the Evans Scholar programs at Indiana University and Purdue University will be available or you can bring your own.
PLAYING CROOKED STICK
A player at Crooked Stick will find that no consecutive holes are laid out in the same direction, one must constantly adjust to wind from a different tack, long holes are followed by short holes, and shots calling for right-to-left flight are followed by shots requiring a left-to-right path. Pete and Alice Dye have designed Crooked Stick to test a player’s “poise, courage and intelligence,” as well as his or her skill. You can look ahead or look back and the natural beauty of each hole extends before you. But the more familiar you are with the course, the more you see what is waiting for you. It does not let up, and it never lets you down.
