Cleveland Metroparks Golf has announced the names of the players who are currently exempt from qualifying for the 2019 Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship at Manakiki Golf Course on August 9-11th.
If your name is not on the list below and you wish to play in the Cleveland Am, you’ll have to register for and compete at one of the four 36-hole Course Championships / Qualifying Tournaments: Manakiki and Seneca July 13-14; or Shawnee Hills and Sleepy Hollow July 20-21st.
If your name is listed below you can still play in any of the Course Championships, but you will be passed through to the Cleveland Am without taking up one of the qualifying spots in that tournament.
Finally, if you wish to skip the Course Championships and enter the Cleveland Am directly, complete and submit an entry with the appropriate payment as listed.
