Maine Principals’ New England Qualifier Tournament

 

Beginning in 2026, the Maine Principals’ Association will introduce a new format for determining Maine’s Individuals who will qualify for the New Englands.

 

Girls’ New England Tournament Sunday, October 25th

Boys’ New England Tournament Monday, October 26th

 

More detailed information will be shared at the Maine Qualifier.

 

  • Maine will be able to send 12 Individuals (Boys and Girls) to the New Englands.
  • Champions from each class (A, B & C) will be exempted into the New Englands.

 

  • Boys exemptions - Sam Sirois, Colin Mitchell and Jack Fontaine (3 exempt; 9 spots available)
  • Girls exemptions - Lila Dailey, Kathryn Peterson, Carla Ferraris and Kaydance Allaire (4 exempt; 8 spots available)

 

  • All Top Ten Individuals in each class (A, B, & C) (Boys and Girls) will be eligible to participate in the Maine’s Qualifier.
  • The State Individual Champion in each Class will automatically qualify. He and she may play in the Qualifier if they choose.
  • Please note that there are “No Fees” to participate in Maine’s Qualifier.
  • Sites for 2026 have been determined and it is the intent to rotate sites and courses on an annual basis.
  • Girls – October 17, 2026 @ Natanis Golf Course. This will be a 10:00 am start. Players should arrive no later than 9:15am. Pairings will be assigned by the Individuals finish in the State Tournament. The Women will play the Arrowhead Course.
  • Boys – October 17, 2026 @ Prouts Neck. This will be a 10:00am start. Players should arrive no later than 9:15 am. Pairings will be assigned by the Individuals finish in the State Tournament.  
  • It is the belief that this format provides two positive circumstances: 
    • All Individuals play the same course under the same conditions. 
    • It provides one more competitive tournament before the New Englands. 
  • In the event due to weather the Qualifier is cancelled, we will revert back to the previous format. Scores will be sloped.
  • NOTE: All players are expected to use the Golf Genius Digital Scorecards as official cards. Please charge your phone to 100% and download the Golf Genius app prior to the day of the event. 

 

 

PROUTS NECK CC

 

  • There is no availability for a practice round.
  • There is no driving range available to players, but there is a putting green next to the first tee. If you'd like to hit balls that morning to warm up, we suggest Pleasant Hill Driving Range in Scarborough, about a 10 minute drive from Prouts. 
  • There is no food available on the golf course, aside from some small snacks in the pro shop. If you plan on spectating (parents), please plan ahead and bring snacks of your own. 
  • Along those lines, if you plan on spectating, golf carts are VERY LIMITED to use by those who need them for medical purposes. If you can walk the golf course, plan on doing so to spectate. 
  • There is a drinking water station at the crossroads of the par 4 4th hole and par 3 13th. 
  • Parking is limited at Prouts, so if you're coming from the same team or nearby towns, I strongly recommend you carpool. The lot directly across from golf shop (496 Black Point Rd) and the parking lot by the tennis courts (497 Black Point Rd) are available for use. PLEASE DO NOT park at the Black Point Inn. 
  • Lastly, Prouts Neck CC is a premier private club. Please dress like golfers, whether you are in the field or spectating, and please remember to respect the golf course; replace divots, repair ball marks, all that.
