USGA Men's State Team Championship

PARS AND YARDAGES – The North Course at Berkeley Hall, for the Women's State Team Championship, will be set at 6,115 yards and play to par 36-37—73. The South Course, for the Men's State Team Championship, will be set at 7,073 yards and play to a par of 36-36—72.

BERKELEY HALL – The two golf courses at Berkeley Hall were designed by Tom Fazio. The original North Course was opened in April 2001. The South Course was opened in a year later.

SCHEDULE OF PLAY – The field of golfers will play 18 holes on each of three stroke play rounds Sept. 27-29 (Tuesday-Thursday). The two lowest scores from each three-person team constitute the team score for each round. The three-day total is the team's score for the Championship.

ADMISSION IS FREE – The general public is invited to attend the championship. Both admission and parking are free of charge.

ELIGIBILITY – The championship is open to female and male amateur golfers as selected by each state golf association or administrative body. At present, collegiate players are not eligible to compete in this championship. The NCAA rules state that a player may only play in an international team competition when that team is sponsored by the national governing body, such as the Curtis Cup Match (female), Walker Cup Match (male) or the World Amateur Team Championships. Any infraction of that rule means the collegiate player may be declared ineligible for the remainder of the season and the following season.

TEAMS ENTERED – For the Women's State Team Championship, 50 teams are entered – all states except North Dakota and Puerto Rico. For the USGA Men's State Team Championship, 52 teams are entered – all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This is the third consecutive Men's State Team where 52 teams have entered.
