Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

No shortage of competitive golf today

August
25

It’s a very busy golf week, but I’m taking a day in hopes of sneaking in at least nine holes between all of the other things I have to get accomplished before the day is done.

We’ve got four players at Southern Hills for the U.S. Amateur. Max Buckley (79), Chris Scialo (82), Max Cahn (82) and George Zahringer (83) all had a difficult time yesterday and have a lot of climbing to do to make the match play field of 64. You can follow them here.

Nanette Hill was in tie for second place after shooting an even-par 72 in yesterday’s Women’s Met Open Championship at Huntington Country Club. The field also includes most of the top club pros. You can follow them here.

The first round of the Met Open is also being played today at Ridgewood Country Club. Michael Quagliano is making his professional debut there alongside many of the best club pros and top amateurs. You can follow them here.
