New for 2020 AGA Championship
*Walking is no longer mandatory - Carts are optional (for a fee) at the course
*Added Divisional element with a trophy going to the low player in each Division
*Members do NOT need to do or look for anything different at registration (with the exception of Legends see below)
*Also new is a Junior “Division” where the low player will earn an exemption into the
2020 Arizona Amateur, in addition to a trophy
*Legends who wish to play in the Open MUST designate and notify the AGA that they are playing for the Open Championship. If not, they will play in the Legend field from a different tee. Legends players who compete in the Open will still have their finish count for Open points and Legends points race, however, if they play from the Legend tees they will not be eligible to win the Open Championship (but will get the full designated Legends Divisional major points).
*Players who are of Divisional age will get their Open points and they will be rewarded with Divisional Major points for their performance relative to where they finish in their respective Divisional flight.
**This is a change to the points system we’ve used in the past and could make a serious impact in the year-long points races for Divisional players.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to any Arizona resident. No membership to the Arizona Golf Association required. Members of the Southern Nevada Golf Association may participate in the AGA Championship without restriction. Email leann@azgolf.org to enter without joining the Master Roster.
