Local Qualifying Event Application
A 2-person scramble event for recreational golfers, the NCGC will allow golfers
to compete for their university to see who will be the 2008 champion. Winning teams
from Local Qualifiers advance to the 7th Annual National Collegiate Golf Championship
in Las Vegas, Nevada November 7-9, 2008. The Championship has three divisions: Student,
Faculty/Staff and Alumni/Community. For more event info click here.
Applications to host a LQ are open until May 26, 2008. Universities that wish
to host an event must apply during this period, although specific event details
such as date and golf course are not required on the application.
This amateur golf event is focused on university recreational golfers and consists
of 40-60 local qualifying tournaments held across the United States in the late
spring, summer and fall. Local Qualifying winners advance to the official National
Collegiate Golf Championship in Las Vegas November 7-9, 2008. The CGA and NIRSA
promote and market the event to over 750 colleges and universities making this the
premier recreational college golf event. LQ Host schools receive a prize package
valued at over $500 and over $50 per player. LQ Host schools that have over 40 players
receive a Southwest Airline Round Trip ticket to defer travel costs to the Championship.
Portions of proceeds of the Local Qualifiers and the Championship will benefit the
NIRSA Foundation,
a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for students through professional
development, research, scholarships, and educational resources. To date, the NCGC
program has raised over $28,000 for the Foundation.
"We are very excited to be able to expand the NCGC program to allow more schools
the opportunity to participate and compete. The thrill of competing for your
university is now available to more Students, Staff and Alumni. Returning
players are eagerly awaiting the program and new participants will really be impressed.”
stated CGA’s President and CEO Mike Munson.
