ROCHESTER – Oakland University Golf and
Learning Center’s tournament-tested and world-class golf course the R&S
Sharf will host the 27th GAM Net Team Championship presented by Michigan Golf
Live Tuesday.
A field of 40 two-person teams that advanced
from sectional qualifiers in July will play the sweeping modern Sharf course
designed by Rick Smith to decide a championship team.
The field includes men and women who can play
on the same team or on teams of two men or two women. All players compete with
their GAM/USGA handicap index in net four-ball stroke play.
Oakland University is home to its two
world-class golf courses (Katke Cousins and R & S Sharf) and an expansive
Golf and Learning Center that features a Rick Smith Academy on the beautifully
wooded campus. The Sharf plays between 5,355 yards and 7,103 yards with six
possible tee positions.
Several professional and amateur tournaments
have been hosted at Oakland University, including GAM qualifiers and
championships, high school championships as well as the Michigan PGA
Professional Championship.
Manager Bill Rogers, a PGA professional,
heads the staff at Oakland U., which includes PGA professional Perry Busse and
Superintendent Tom Schall. For more information on the facilities, visit www.oakland.edu/ougolf.com .
The two-time defending champions, Dwaine
Jones of Canton and Kevin Kotzian of Livonia, are not in the final 40 teams
this year.
