This final SCAGA event of the 2011 season is open to the first 72 players who register. Over $5,000 in merchandise prizes will be in play, including a first place prize of $600 in merchandise, with the top 12 players paid in each division based on a full field (plus pin shots).

There are two flights available: AA (handicap 0 to 4.9) and A (handicap 5.0+).

The price for the event is $140 all inclusive ($120 for juniors), which includes entry fees, golf and carts as follows: 18 holes at Sable Creek on Friday, July 8th; 18 holes with a cart at Seven Hills on Saturday, July 9th; and 18 holes with a cart at Chippewa Golf Club on Sunday, July 10th. Sable Creek will be charging an additional $5 cart fee if you want to ride on Friday.  Walking is allowed for this event but the cost will remain the same.

An optional skins game by class will be available at $20 per day, to be paid for all three days ($60) at Friday’s registration; so if you wish to enter the skins game, $200 covers everything. Registration starts at 7:00 A.M. on Friday, July 8th, and will end 30 minutes before the last tee time.

New Horizon Financial Group will provide a trophy to the winner of the Stark County Amateur, and merchandise certificates will be payable at Chippewa Golf Club, available and ready to use that Sunday.

Entry deadline is Tuesday, July 5th at 9 p.m. or when 72 players enter; no late entries accepted. Groupings and starting times will be posted to the SCAGA and NEOHgolf.com websites on Wednesday, July 6th.

The revised SCAGA Spring Classic event will be played on Sunday, May 22, 2011 at The Sanctuary Golf Club in North Canton.

Additionally, an optional flighted cash skins of $20 will be available.

To enter, visit the SCAGA website or call Jeff Barbas at 330-696-1986.

The next event on the SCAGA schedule is the 2-day, 36-hole Spring Classic, May 21 at Tam O’Shanter Golf Course in Canton and May 22 at The Sanctuary Golf Club in North Canton. To enter, visit SCAGA.com.

And there are some additional changes being made to SCAGA in 2011 that will benefit our players further. 

In the last two seasons SCAGA has seen a drastic decrease in the participation of our B class, so we have eliminated that division for 2011.  We will have our AA (players with a 4 handicap or less) and A classes (players with a 5 handicap and up), and NEW for 2011 we will have an OPEN SENIORS Division.  Open Seniors will be an age 50 and above bracket. (For those that were in the B class, you can play in the A Division or the Open Seniors if you meet the age requirement.)

Another change for 2011 will be that the Stark County Amateur Golf Association will limit all of its events to amateurs only. A few pros have played in our 2-man events in recent years, and the teams with pros have won at a greater percentage than the am-only teams. So as an organization, we decided to refocus our mission. SCAGA exists to run tournaments for amateur golfers, so the SCAGA Board has decided that only amateur teams will be permitted to enter our 2-man events going forward. We hope this brings in some additional amateur teams who may not have entered in the past because they didn’t want to compete against professionals.

All amateur players are welcome to play in our events. There is no residency requirement. We have players from all over Ohio and we’ve even had a family come play all the way from Switzerland! There are no residency restrictions and you don’t have to live here in Stark County to play.

Also NEW for this year, our Stark County Amateur will be among the events scored for the ADGA’s Golfer of the Year event, a 3-day tournament played at Firestone’s West, North and South courses on Sept. 30 – Oct. 2.

And to continue generating new tournament players for SCAGA and all of golf in Northeast Ohio, any ‘junior’ player under the age of 18 is only required to pay a $15 entry fee (instead of $35).
