It's that time of year when I am looking for a host course for the qualifier for the USGA Women's Mid-Amateur Golf Championship ...even though the actual championship is almost a year away. Committee members, such as I am, are responsible for choosing the site and reaching in effect a contract with the golf course that will be hosting the qualifier.
This championship is in early Fall so the qualifier must be late summer, which, in the Pinehurst area, is aerification central. This presents a big challenge...finding a golf course that is not having its greens aerated!
So, my compromise is to find a willing course with an aerification schedule that will allow the longest period between the aeration date and the date of my qualifer so that the greens will have the best chance to heal.
Good news is that I may have found the golf course that fits my criteria!
