Due to the precautions and guidance recommended by the CDC, qualifying for the North Carolina Senior Amateur Championship will not take place in 2020.  The North Carolina Senior Amateur Championship is still scheduled to play on May 13-15 at Rolling Hills in Monroe, NC. 

 

Players may still register to play, both exempt and non-exempt, HERE.  Non-Exempt players will be accepted into the field at the close of entries based on the criteria below.  A wait list will also be created from remaining non-exempt players who did not “qualify” based on the below criteria.   

 

The field for the North Carolina Senior Amateur Championship will be selected by using the following criteria as outlined in our Tournament Manual:

 

1. From eligible competitors who played in the specific championship proper, the previous year event was contested.

2. From eligible competitors who successfully qualified for USGA Championships during the previous 24 months.

3. *From eligible competitors in ranking order on the respective Carolinas player rankings as of the last update.

4. From the remaining competitors with the lowest handicap indexes up to the total number of available qualifying spots determined in advance by the Committee.

5. *Respective Player Rankings: Men=Carolinas Men’s Rankings; Senior Men=Carolinas Senior Men’s Rankings; Super Senior Men=Carolinas Super Senior Men’s Rankings; NC Junior Boys=NC Junior Boys Rankings; SC Junior Boys=SCGA Junior Boys Rankings; Carolinas Junior Boys=Allocation based upon a percentage of players from each state using appropriate state junior rankings (NC Junior Boys=NC Junior Boys Rankings; SC Junior Boys=SCGA Junior Boys Rankings).

Note: If there are more eligible players than qualifying spots available for any of the above eligibility criteria, then a “blind draw” will be used to determine those players advancing to the championship proper. The CGA reserves the right to adjust the number of qualifying spots.

 

Players will be updated of their status following the close of entries on April 30 at 11:59pm.

 

Thank you for your patience and support during this very challenging time for everyone.
