Bermuda Amateur Match Play Championships
The Bermuda Amateur Match Play Championships is set to be held at the Mid Ocean Club from March 5 through March 7, 2015, with the deadline for entries now open.
A spokesperson said, “We have made some changes to this years event which will make it more competitive, but at the same time enable a wider variety of players to be involved.
“The most notable fact is the tournament will be played over three days rather than four and we will be using flights of eight instead of 16. The qualifying round will therefore require participants to play at a higher level to achieve one of the top eight places.
“The first round matches will be more exciting as the range of player ability will be much closer and will make for more competitive matches. Those who do not qualify for the Championship will be put in flights depending on the number of participants.
“In the case of the Senior Championship flights, there will be no qualifying round; players will be seeded by handicap index and will be spared the requirement to play 36 holes in one day.”
The tournament fees for the Men and Ladies Championship flight are $200 for non-members and $125 for Mid Ocean members. Fees for the Senior Men and Ladies Championship flight is $175 for non-members and $100 for Mid Ocean members and Juniors.
The tournament fee includes a player tee gift and buffet lunch on March 5 and 6.
