Hilton Head, SC - Teams from South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia will gather on Hilton Head Is., SC to battle for the 2001 Jimmy Self High School Invitational title.

As part of a joint effort, the tournament is hosted by Hilton Head High School, sponsored by Greenwood Mills and conducted by the SC Junior Golf Association. The eighteen schools will field five player teams and count the four best scores for each round.

South Aiken High School of Aiken, SC is certainly the team to watch. The team's top two players, Alex Hamilton and Keven Kisner, are currently ranked in the top five on the South Carolina Junior Rankings.

Riverside High School will be back in the lowcountry to defend their title. North Augusta High School will also field a strong team in the efforts of claiming the title.

The invitational is named for Jimmy Self, former Chairman-of-the-Board for Greenwood Mills, who died in 1996. Mr. Self served as captain of the golf team at Clemson in 1964 & 65, was on the South Carolina Golf Association board from 1969-71 and was generous to the game of golf in the years that followed. The parties involved felt this tournament would be a great tribute to the man that gave so much to golf.
