One Week Remaining to Enter Georgia Public Links Championship
MARIETTA, Ga. – Entries will be closing in one week for the 18th annual Georgia Public Links Championship, which will take place September 16-17 at Stonebridge Golf Club in Rome. This event is open to amateur golfers who are Georgia residents and members of a GSGA Member Club that is open to public play. Entrants must not have held privileges since January 1, 2006 at any club that does not permit public play.
The format of the event is 36 holes of flighted stroke play over two days. The field consists of the 72 entrants with the lowest USGA Handicap Indexes and 72 drawn by lottery. Last year, McDonough’s Dave Womack posted rounds of 72 and 74 to finish with a two-over-par 146 to capture his second victory at the Georgia Public Links Championship. Womack won the event by four strokes over Travis Moore of Atlanta and William Murchinson III of Acworth.
