A mandatory 36-hole stroke play qualifying competition will be contested, with the sixty-four low qualifiers contending for the Championship. The competition will consist of two matches per day over a total of three days. Contestants must have a 1.9 USGA certified handicap index or less to enter. The W. E.

Ron Pritchard, the architect in charge of renovations for Bayou DeSiard Country Club Golf Course, has recaptured the original Perry Maxwell image with rolling, undulating greens, new 419 bermuda fairway grass and MiniVerde™ greens. The course has been lengthened 350 yards with some additional tee boxes added to the design. We feel these changes will create an exciting challenge for all contestants.
