Gearing Up for the Amateur

The 103rd Mass Amateur is set to begin on Monday at Wyantenuck CC. After all the planning, work and anticipation it's almost time to get out of the way and let the players play. The club has been preparing for a few years for next week, and we MGA staff and officials who are attending are looking forward to the week in Great Barrington.

The only preparations left to do will be finalizing the course markings and hole locations on Sunday which will be overseen by Jesse Menachem, MGA Director of Rules & Competitions in concert with Wyantenuck member and MGA Official-In-Charge, Tom Berkel.

There is a great article in The Berkshire Eagle that describes all the preparations by course superintendent, Peter Bacon. http://www.berkshireeagle.com/localsports/ci_18437005
Peter's hard work along with the efforts of Tom Sullivan (head pro), Jennie Quenneville (club manager), Jack Dezieck (MGA President and longtime WCC member) and others will be on full display next week.

And by Friday afternoon there will be one extremely happy golfer hoisting a very big silver trophy.
