This competition will be a season long event with three
qualifiers at the beginning of the year. Matches will begin upon
completion of the qualifying and will have to be completed,
during league play, by a specific date. There will be 64 players
who will make it into the match-play field and those qualifiers
will come from the three GCNJ events designated as "GCNJ
Match-Play Qualifiers". Since there are 9 players exempt from
this years qualifying (see below) there will be 55 spots
available from these qualifiers. Those events are the March 20th
Spring Fling at Ballamor, the March 27th
Atlantic City Open at Atlantic City CC and the April 2nd McGettie's
Cup
at Seaview. Based on their individual net score for the day,
the top 14 lowest net scores at Ballamor will qualify for
the matches. The top 14 lowest net scores at Atlantic City CC will
be the next 14 into the match-play and the field will be set at Seaview where the top 27 individual net scores will qualify.
YOU CAN
ATTEMPT TO QUALIFY AT ALL 3 SITES; HOWEVER, ONCE YOU QUALIFY
