The USGA men's national championship, slated for September 23 to 25, 2009, will be played on the Lewis and Clark course at The Country Club of St. Albans.
“We are honored to have been selected as host for the 2009 USGA Men’s State Team Championship. This is a fantastic opportunity to support amateur golf on a national scale, and we’re thrilled at the prospect of having 156 of the country’s best amateur golfers playing here,” said David Pendy, general manager at The Country Club of St. Albans.
The USGA Men’s State Team Championship grew out of the United States Golf Association’s 1995 centennial celebration. Held every two years, the championship brings together teams of three non-college, amateur golfers from each state.
The Lewis and Clark course is one of two 18-hole championship golf courses at St. Albans. A traditional links course, the Lewis and Clark course features natural creeks and topography changes. The course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Moorish, the design team behind many highly regarded golf courses across the country.
