2008 McGladrey PGA Team Championship

Posted: February 21, 2008

The 2008 PGA McGladrey Championship is right around the corner. Now is the time for amateur golfers to think about where they would like to compete in the local qualifier for this national tournament.

Teams are composed of three amateurs. Each amateur must have an established USGA approved handicap index. The total maximum handicap index of all three partners combined will be no more then 54.0 if all male, 70.0 if one female, 80.0 if two female and 90.0 if all three female.

Note: If the total handicap index is greater then those listed, the player with the highest Handicap Index may play off a lower Handicap Index to make the team eligible. If the highest handicap index will be reduced significantly the reduction may be taken over two or three of the amateurs reducing the indexes evenly.

Guidelines of Amateur Participation
An amateur has the option to participate in multiple Local Qualifying Events as long as the team that the amateur is competing on does not advance to the Section Championship. Once a team has advanced to the Section Championship, the amateurs are prohibited from participating in any other Local Qualifying Events.

Note: If an amateur does not have a USGA handicap, they may play as a 0 handicap.
