When more than 2 inches of rain fell on Mendon Golf Club within an hour on Monday morning, July 24 - making the course unplayable - tournament officials and management at the nearby Golf Club at Blue Heron Hills stepped up to offer their club to host the 75-player field for the U.S. Amateur Sectional Qualifier.
In an example of teamwork between two local golf facilities, two USGA Sectional Qualifiers that had been scheduled for two different area courses since the beginning of the season - the
U.S. Senior Amateur Qualifier
at the
Golf Club at Blue Heron Hills
and the
U.S. Amateur Qualifier
at
Mendon Golf Club
- came together and were hosted by the one venue that had the space and conditions to do so...
