News Release

For Immediate Release: October 8, 1998

The Massachusetts Golf Association will conduct qualifying for the 1999 Mid-Amateur Championship in an effort to involve as many players as possible.

For the same reason, the age requirement will be reduced from 35 to 30 and the handicap index limit will be raised from 5.4 to 6.4. Qualifying will be held the week of September 13th, 1999.

The championship proper will be conducted at Longmeadow Country Club October 4-5, 1999. The MGA announced earlier this season that the State Four-Ball Championship field will be determined through qualifying as well.
