The West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA), in support and collaboration with the United States Golf Association (USGA), conducted the US Senior Amateur Championship qualifier. The Championship is scheduled for Aug. 12 to 18 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn.
“We loved the opportunity to host an event of this caliber at this level, and to showcase Sleepy Hollow on a national state,” said JR Joy, Sleepy Hollow’s golf assistant. “We’re happy to be part of this, especially when we can provide good course conditions and good, if hot, weather.”
“We are honored to play host to one of the 19 final US Senior Amateur qualifiers across the country,” said WVGA Executive Director Chris Slack. “I’m always amazed to see where our participants call home. In today’s field, players called six states home including West Virginia and Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. We’re glad for the chance to let them experience at least a part of West Virginia.”
