Mazur: Elite juniors
excel on, off course

Hooray for the American Junior Golf Association. In a day when brawn beats brain and smarts are often relegated to the back of the bus, the AJGA is making a concerted effort to recognize not just the athletic achievements of its members, but also the academic ones.

The association will recognize the best golfers, the top sportsman and -- possibly most important -- the outstanding scholars of the year Nov. 25 during its season-ending awards banquet.

* The AJGA is finalizing its 2004 schedule and should have next season's lineup complete by Nov. 21.

''There are a lot of factors that go into whether or not we are having a tournament,'' said AJGA vice president of tournament operations Bobby Powell. ''We are always looking at potential courses, sponsors and where we are in need of another event.''

Powell has been working as part of a nine-person committee that has been researching dates, courses and potential sponsors. More than 70 tournaments are scheduled for 2004 in five different categories: preseason, postseason, open, Junior All-Star and invitational.

* Courtney Wood, Summer Sirmons and Sung Ah Yim finished three weather-plagued rounds at Futures Tour Q-School tied at 5-under-par 211 to share medalist honors at the rain-shortened event.

The top 50 players earned exempt status on the Futures Tour for the 2004 season. Of those, 23 were international players -- including 12 Koreans -- and 15 were amateurs. Among the latter group are 17-year-olds Naree Song, a freshman at Florida and sister of LPGA player Aree Song, and Paula Creamer, the top-ranked player in the Golfweek/Titleist Junior Rankings. Naree Song tied for fifth and Creamer tied for eighth.

RECRUITING CENTRAL

The recruiting process shifts gears this week for college coaches which may open a window of opportunity for high school golfers hoping to catch a coach's attention.

The eight-day early ''Letter of Intent'' signing period ends Nov. 19, and coaches will begin focusing on the next signing period which begins in April 2004 and on recruiting for future years. During the winter months while college golf is between seasons, coaches have more time to respond to letters, phone calls and other contacts from prospective student-athletes and parents.
