Approximately 50 male golfers will gather at Big Creek in July, and the majority are either college students or golfers ages 35-and-younger. Participants will compete in a 36-hole event, and Zimmerman says qualifiers will advance to the U.S. Amateur to be held August 13th through 19th of next year at one of the most famous golf venues in the country.
