  • Southern Golf Association ….. News January, 2012
    Southern Golf ASSociAtion ….. neWS January, 2012 SGA StArtS 111 th YeAr ; Southern Am At LittLe rock ’S chenAL countrY cLub BIRMINGHAM, AL -- The storied Southern Golf Association enters its 111th year, with its premier event, the 106th Southern Amateur Championship, slated for play July 18-21 at chenal country club in Little Rock, AR. As has become the norm, the field will include many amateurs ranked among the top players in the U.S. and the world. The Southern Am, once the purview of well-heeled Southerners, has evolved into a national and international competition consistently judged among the top eight amateur events in the world. Ten years ago, the Southern Am field, previously restricted to entrants from SGA-member Southern Club and collegiate players within the traditional 14 southern states, was opened to worldwide entries. The 2011 Southern Am at Innisbrook Resort in Florida reflected that broad participation with players from 33 states and 9 foreign countries. As many as 700 entries are now received each year for the Southern Am , the field pared down to 168 through exemptions for the most accomplished players and a series of 20 local qualifiers scattered throughout the South and a few other states. A “national” qualifier is held at the tournament site on the Monday of tournament week to give appli - cants an extra shot at a berth in the field. While other amateur events sought to attract players with lavish gifts and perks from corporate sponsors, the SGA directors voted to continue its practice of simply putting on a first-class tournament in the true spirit of amateurism – stroke play with roving rules officials.
