In an effort to make the schedule more flexible for some of the multi-day events, and to add more one-day events to the rotation, the Akron District Golf Association has announced a series of changes with the release of its finalized 2009 tournament schedule.
Starting this year, players qualifying for the match play portions of the 2-Man Lazor Memorial and the individual Match Play Championship will schedule their own matches at a convenient time, so long as those matches are completed by specific dates. Also, so long as both competitors agree, matches may be played at any course; should an agreement not be reached, the qualifying site course must be used. The ADGA asks that the qualifying course be played if possible, as a show of support to that course.
The ADGA now has four one-day events on its schedule, adding to the calendar a “3-Man Shamble”, two different 2-Man Better Ball dates, and 4-Man Scramble.
Tim Davis has put together a great roster of the best golf courses in the Akron area, and he should be congratulated for the effort. Complete details below…
