Final preparations are being made as the TGA heads down to Memphis this weekend to run the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying. There will be 110 players fighting for 12 spots into this year's U.S. Open which will be held on June 15-21, 2009 at Bethpage State Park (Black Course) in Farmingdale, NY. Monday's Sectional Qualifying will be a 36-hole stroke play competiton in which players will play both Germantown and Ridgeway Country Club.
Tuesday finds several of the TGA staff serving as Rules Officials in the Stanford St. Jude Qualifier being held at Windyke Country Club. Qualifiers will compete in the Stanford St. Jude which will take place on June 11-14 at TPC Southwind, also located in Memphis. It is definitely a change of pace for us, working professional events, as we typically are involved with amateur
events.
The following week we will be headed up to Loudon, TN for the 2009 Four-Ball/Senior Four-Ball Championship which will be held at Toqua Golf Club. This years event includes 40 Regular Division teams and 30 Senior Division teams. The tournament format will be two days of stroke-play qualifying followed by team vs. team match play until a winner emerges. It is a favorite event of many of our players because of the atmosphere and team comraderie. We are excited for a great Championship and look forward to seeing all of you there.
*Please don't forget that the State Amateur Deadline is Wednesday, June 24th, at 5:00 p.m. CDT. This year's State Amateur Championship will be held on August 4-7, 2009, at The Honors Course in Ooltewah, TN.
