Every year, the Cameron Champ Foundation hosts the premier tournament for junior golfers from diverse backgrounds in Houston, and every year, Sacramento-area junior golfers make the 1,600-mile trip to compete in the event.
This year, two girls and seven boys were in the field for the fourth annual Mack Champ Invitational. Alaythia Hinds, a senior from Rancho Murieta, and Sakura Watanabe, a ninth-grader from Roseville, played in the girls event, which was held April 11-13 at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, TX. Hinds won the event in 2023.
The boys event was May 2-5 at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston. Sacramento-area players in the field were high school juniors Jayden Lizama from Elk Grove, Aidan Sweeney from Granite Bay, and Cruz Medrano from Citrus Heights; sophomore Micah Lenton from Hercules; fifth-grader Raiden Orille from Elk Grove; and brothers Obasi (seventh grade) and Zafir Winn (fifth grade) from Sacramento.
The Cameron Champ Golf Academy at Foothill Golf Course is a place where passion for golf converges with a commitment to empower and inspire the next generation of golfers. Our program is meticulously crafted to impart not only the fundamentals of the game, but also to instill values that extend beyond the golf course.
Led by our dedicated team of coaches, we strive to create an environment that nurtures skill development, personal growth, and a lifelong love for the game.

Cameron Champ returned to the place where he learned to love golf in order to share that love with youth from all over the Sacramento area.
Cameron hosted the clinic on Sept. 9 at Foothill Golf Course, where he learned the game from his grandfather Mack. The Champ family now runs the course, which also serves as home base for the Cameron Champ Foundation, which is committed to diversifying the game and unlocking the potential in youth from underserved and underrepresented communities.

The Sierra Nevada Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America sent volunteers from all over Northern California and Nevada to Foothill for a “field day” on October 24. It was a great day for the Cameron Champ Foundation and the course, and Good Day Sacramento came out for some on-location reporting.
The Sierra Nevada Chapter and its members are donating equipment, labor, and products to help improve the turf surfaces at Foothill through the aerification of greens, tees, and fairways, as well as overseeding teeing surfaces and applying nutrients to the entire course.
The Sierra Nevada Chapter of the GCSA is made up of golf course superintendents, assistant golf course superintendents, equipment managers, greenkeepers, and affiliates of the golf industry who are dedicated to advancing the golf profession, promoting the growth of the game through inclusion and diversity, and thereby improving communities through the vitality of the game of golf.
The field day will be an annual event, which over time will help promote sustainability and environmentalism at Foothill, which serves as home base for the Cameron Champ Foundation.
We owe a huge thanks to the local golf courses, private clubs and vendors who have shown their support for Foothill Golf Course and the Cameron Champ Foundation!
On Saturday, Oct. 1, the Cameron Champ Foundation hosted more than 90 local kids for a golf festival at Foothill Golf Course.
They came in two waves from some of our favorite local nonprofit partners, the Ticket to Dream Foundation and City Life Sayonara Center. The kids practiced their golf skills, played the course, shared laughs with friends and mentors, and even got a new pair of shoes from our friends at BEARPAW.
What a great day! Thanks to all of the sponsors and volunteers who made this great event possible.
