Introduces Saguaro Amateur Series
|
Scottsdale,
AZ – May 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Troon®,
the leader in golf course management, development, and marketing, has introduced
a new series of competitive amateur golf events called the Troon
Saguaro Amateur Series. The multi-stage series builds on the success
of the Saguaro Amateur, held in early January at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes
Golf Club, while providing high-level amateurs, college players, juniors
and Troon-facility club champions a chance to compete throughout the year.
The
Sizzler, the first event of the Troon Saguaro Amateur Series, will be held
June 10-13 at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. Fall events will
include The Gobbler at Sewailo Golf Club at Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Ariz.
November 19-22 and The Agave at Shadow Hills Golf Club in Rancho Mirage,
Calif. December 19-22. The Troon Saguaro Amateur Series will be capped
off at the season-ending Saguaro Amateur at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf
Club in Maricopa, Ariz. January 1-4, 2018. Each event winner and top point
earners will earn exemptions into the Saguaro Amateur.
The
concept of the Saguaro Amateur and its evolution into a series is the brainchild
of University of Colorado Head Men’s Golf Coach Roy Edwards, University
of Wyoming Director of Golf Programs Joe Jensen, and Ak-Chin Southern Dunes
General Manager Brady Wilson. Troon is the series’ inaugural title sponsor.
