Chase, British Columbia – One of British Columbia’s finest golf courses will test some of the best age forty and older amateur men from around the Pacific Northwest at the 34th Pacific Northwest Men’s Master-40 Amateur Championship, May 18-22 at Talking Rock Resort and Quaaout Lodge in Chase, British Columbia.
Last year, Chris Maletis of Portland, Ore. drained a 20-foot birdie putt on the eighteenth hole to defeat Harry Ferguson of Invermere, B.C. 1-up in the Championship final match held at The Home Course in Dupont, Wash.
Ferguson will be back in the field this year to attempt to improve upon his runner-up finish last year. In all, 67 golfers will compete at this year’s championship. Golfers likely to challenge the field for the title include 2006 PNGA Master-40 champion Bob Burton of Everett, Wash., 2005 PNGA Mid-Amateur champion Paul Harris of Vancouver, B.C., 2008 U.S. Amateur Qualifier Bob Wheeler of Eagle, Idaho, and 2007 B.C. Senior Amateur champion John Gallacher of Burnaby, B.C.
To be eligible for the Pacific Northwest Men’s Master-40 Amateur Championship, contestants must have reached their 40th birthday by the first day of the competition and also carry a handicap index of 16.4 or less. The championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play qualifying to determine flights for the match play portion of the championship.
The lowest 32 scorers from the qualifying rounds will advance to the Championship Flight, with each of the remaining flights being comprised of eight contestants. All matches are single-elimination and contested over 18 holes.
