ORLANDO, Fla. (May 03, 2012) – Golfweek, the most authentic, authoritative and independent voice in golf, will celebrate the beginning of golf’s busiest season with tomorrow’s release of its annual Amateur Issue. Saluting the unsung players who make up the heart and soul of the game, the May 4 issue features a host of exclusive reports and insightful profiles that shine a spotlight on the tournaments, trends and competitors that are shaping today’s amateur golf landscape.
“The amateur game is the essence of this great game and the backbone of what we do at Golfweek,” said Golfweek editor Jeff Babineau. “This year’s Amateur Issue celebrates all things amateur, from the Curtis Cup to our annual crop of local legends. We also have a cool story on two 90-something golfers, Pursie Pipes and William Walsh, who have accomplished great things as amateurs and still play actively today just for the love of the game.”
Highlights of Golfweek’s 2012 Amateur Issue include:
• A look at proposed Q-School changes on the horizon and whether the summer of 2012 could be the last, great amateur summer
• A preview of next month’s Curtis Cup in Nairn, Scotland, that includes a profile of 2010 Curtis Cup player Tiffany Lua and player capsules for both 2012 teams
• A human interest story about Jeronimo Esteve, who qualified for the 2011 U.S. Mid-Amateur after undergoing his final radiation treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Profiles of several local legends from around the country who have been nominated by their peers based on their notable golf credentials
