Competition begins Monday, September 16 with 36 holes of stroke play. The final 18 holes will be contested on Tuesday to determine the Individual and Team champions.
The tournament also features the return of two of northwest Ohio’s talented golfers. Emily Bastel-Glaser, the Head Coach of the Florida Gators, grew up in Upper Sandusky and was an All-American at Michigan State, before competing on the LPGA Tour. Bowling Green’s Caroline Powers is now an Assistant Coach at MSU, where she earned All-American honors, before playing on the Symetra Tour.
This is a great event for Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan golf fans, plus it is the perfect opportunity to watch the future players that will be competing on the LPGA Tour.
