Entries Open For Georgia Four-Ball Tournament

MARIETTA, Ga. (January 21, 2010) – Entries are now being accepted for the 22nd annual Georgia Four-Ball Tournament, which takes place March 26-28 at Valdosta Country Club and Kinderlou Forest Golf Club in Valdosta. This event is open to two-man teams of male amateur golfers of all ages who are GSGA members and Georgia residents, with combined USGA Handicap Indexes of 4.0 and above.

The format of the event is 54 holes of flighted, four-ball stroke play over three days. In last year’s event, Jack Benson of Dunwoody and Pete Malcolm of Duluth posted a birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to capture the rain-shortened 2009 Georgia Four-Ball Tournament. The duo posted rounds of 68 and 69 en route to claiming victory.
