Talking Rock to Host USGA Amateur Qualifying Tournament
Championship golf course in Prescott welcomes best players in state.
Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) July 19, 2006
Talking Rock’s Jay Morrish-designed championship golf course in Prescott, AZ (http://www. talkingrockranch. com/golf. aspx? engine=prweb0719&keyword=prweb0719) will play host to the United States Golf Association (USGA) Amateur Sectional Qualifying Tournament on Monday, July 24 and Tuesday, July 25, 2006. This important tournament is one of the last available opportunities for Arizona golfers to qualify for the 106th U. S. Amateur Championship in August at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, MN.
The qualifying tournament has no age restriction and is open to those with a USGA Handicap Index of 2.4 or lower. Talking Rock’s impressive 7,350-yard 18-hole course will prove to be an ideal location for tournament play with its understated classic design. Strategically placed bunkers and ample landing areas in the fairways and around the greens create a balance between risk and reward -- essentially leveling the playing field. This highly anticipated event is free and is open to the public.
“We are pleased to have been selected by the USGA to host this very important tournament and anticipate an exciting afternoon of golf,” said Jim Leisenring, PGA member and general manager of Talking Rock’s Prescott, Arizona golf course (http://www. talkingrockranch. com/golfTour. aspx? engine=prweb0719&keyword=prweb0719). “We’re eager to see how Arizona’s best players respond to this challenging championship course.”
