After a successful inaugural match-play championship in 2018, Spring Lake Golf Club in Middle Island is planning a second tourney this April with a bigger field and condensed play.
The 2019 Spring Lake Championship, open to golfers of all skill levels, will take place Friday, April 26 through Sunday, April 28. Unlike last year's double-weekend event, this year's edition will be held over one long weekend, starting with a seeding round on Friday. First round and semifinals will be played on Saturday with the final matches scheduled for Sunday.
Entry fee is $420 per two-person team and covers up to four 18-hole rounds in best-ball format (two rounds guaranteed), in addition to range balls and a Friday evening dinner with open bar. This year's field will be expanded to 56 teams divided into Men's, Women's and Senior divisions. The three divisions will include championship and lower flights each comprised of eight teams.
The seeding round will tee off at 1:00 p.m. on Friday. First-round matches will begin at 7:00 a.m. Saturday, with semifinal matches to follow in the afternoon. Championship matches will begin at 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
Prizes will be awarded as pro-shop credit to winning teams in each flight. All rules and format details are listed on the official registration form available on the Spring Lake website. Sign up by submitting the registration form or call the Spring Lake pro shop at (631) 924-5115.
