Click to view Start Times
The eleventh edition of the Wayne County Men’s Amateur Golf Championship is set to be contested on Friday, July 10 at Goldsboro Municipal Golf Course, Saturday July 11 at Walnut Creek Country Club, and Sunday, July 12 at Southern Wayne Country Club. Lionel Sutton will return to defend his Open Division title and will attempt to become the first three time champion and the only player to win the Open Division title three consecutive years. Sutton figures to have strong competition from fellow two-time champion Jonathan Burke, 2008 runner-up Ryan Campbell, and local standout Jonathan Greene.
In the Senior Division, John Zambelli will seek to retain the title that he wrestled from Bill Brewer in 2008 while Brewer will look to regain the form that brought him three division crowns between 2004 and 2007. Don Garris, Jr. will look to improve on his 2008 runner-up effort and claim his first title.
2008 saw Joe McLamb finally break the three year stranglehold held by John Newsome on the Super Senior Division title. These two should face stiff competition this year from perennial contender Charlie Waters and former Senior Division Champ Howard Tyndall.
The Amateur is a 54 hole stroke play event open to men 18 years old and older who reside in Wayne County or who are a member of a golf club in Wayne County. Age divisions include the Open Division for ages 18 and older, Senior Division for 50 and older, and Super Senior for ages 60 and older. Players are placed into flights upon completion of the first and second rounds. The entry fee for the event is $100.00. Entry forms will be available at all local golf courses and on this web site on Saturday, May 2.
The WCMA is pleased and extremely proud to once again have as its Corporate Sponsor Andy’s Cheeseburgers. Our event would not be possible without the continuing support of Andy’s as well as returning Associate Sponsor Bent8Design.
