(May 7, 2020 10:51 AM)  The 95^th edition of the City Championship golf tournament is scheduled for June 6-13 at the Country Club of Jackson.

Entries are now being accepted for the tournament, which begins with a qualifying round June 6 to set the 32-player match play field. Match play starts June 7, leading to the 36-hole championship match June 13.

Entry fee for the tournament is $120, or $75 for high school students. The Jackson Golf Committee increased the entry fee in order for the tournament to continue to be played at the county’s highest-quality courses and to offer an ample prize fund. Players who do not qualify for match play will receive a $20 gift certificate.

In addition to all Jackson County residents being eligible, the tournament is open those living outside the county if they meet one of three criteria: They graduated from a Jackson County high school or college; previously played in a Jackson Masters or City Championship; or are employed in the county. In addition, there is no longer a handicap limit.

Entry forms are available at the Country Club of Jackson, Cascades, Sharp Park, and Arbor Hills pro shops, and registration can be made on-line at jacksongolf.net. Entry deadline is June 3 at 5 p.m.

For more information, contact Dave Gilpin at 688-4046.
