It’s deadline time for women golfers who are planning on playing in the annual Moore County Women’s Amateur Championship at National Golf Club June 27-28.
While the tournament is for golfers of all levels, with players pre-flighted by handicap, the championship flight has provided some top-flight competition and intriguing story-lines over the past several years and included winners with ages varying from teenagers to 60.
But if you’re planning on entering, you’d better do it now. The deadline is Wednesday
Patty Moore, the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame member who has won the event six times, has battled two-time former champion Diane Yelovich to the wire several times while youngsters Amanda D’Ostroph and Lisa Chandler have also won.
Another threat in recent years has been Katja Damman, a Pinehurst resident who plays on the Pembroke State University golf team
D’Ostroph, a rising junior at Charleston Southern University, won the title at the Country Club of Whispering Pines last year.
The championship is 36 holes of gross medal play with a 9 a.m. shotgun start both days.
Entrants must be 18 or older and have an established USGA handicap index. They must also be residents of Moore County or a member of a golf club in the county.
The entry fee is $95 and includes carts, range balls and an awards luncheon following the final round. Practice rounds are available June 21-24 for $30.
Prizes will be awarded to the overall champion and the first and second-place finishers in each flight.
Applications are available at area golf clubs and at Robert’s Golf Shop. For information call Ginny Siedler at (910) 673-3240.
