Carolinas Club Championship Preview

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- The 39th Carolinas Club Championship will be played on the Ross course at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. on Monday, April 25. 

The defending champion team from Sedgefield Country Club, Eric Ferguson and Scott Harvey, will not be in the field to defend their title. Harvey, who won the Carolinas Mid-Amateur last week, will be competing in the Concession Cup, which is a biennial competition played between teams comprised of leading male Mid and Senior Amateurs from the United States and Great Britain and Ireland.

The Ross Course at Sedgefield Country Club hosts the
Carolinas Club Championship for the third consecutive year.

The host club will be represented by two teams: Ryan Fuller of Burlington, N.C. and Rob Beasley of Kernersville, N.C.; and Jeff Guernier and Jeff Burchman of Greensboro, N.C.    

2014 champion, Raleigh Country Club head golf professional Paul Dickens is in the field with a different amateur partner, 2014 North Carolina Four-Ball champion Mark Gauley.

This is the third consecutive year that the Carolinas Club Championship will be held on the Ross Course. A great friend to the Carolinas Golf Association, this marks the 18th CGA championship hosted by Sedgefield Country Club. Sedgefield was the first home to the Greater Greensboro Open golf tournament when it started in 1938, alternating with Starmount Country Club until 1961, and hosting every year until 1976. The tournament returned to Sedgefield in 2008 with the name Wyndham Championship.

The Carolinas Club Championship format is 18 holes of four-ball stroke play. Teams can be comprised of: a) A male or female golf professional who is a member of the club’s golf professional staff employed by a CGA Member Club and a male or female amateur golfer who is a member in good standing of the same CGA Member Club. b) Two amateur golfers, male or female, who are members in good standing of the same CGA Member Club. Only two team entries is allowed per member club. Entry is open to any male or female legal resident of North Carolina or South Carolina who has reached their 13th birthday by April 25, 2016.
