Women can Qualify for the US Women's Amateur Public Links for Free

The US Public Links Championships are going the way of the Do Do bird and will become extinct after the 2014 run. I surely hate that but can say this. The qualifier is free with the caveat that your handicap is low enough to qualify. While qualifying is free, the cost to play in the tournament is only $50.00

YES YOU CAN! --- ENTER THE 2013 US WOMEN’S AMATEUR

PUBLIC LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP

Milford, Mich. April 11, 2013. The USGA will retire the US Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship (WAPL) after 2014, which means a public course golfer will have only this year and next to play in this prestigious event. Many WAPL Champions have played in the LPGA such as Michelle Wie and Yani Tseng. The USGA will celebrate the rich history of the WAPL at this year’s Championship and next, making them extra special.
