Description
*NOTE: These qualifiers are ONLY available to Hittin Links members that host their ghin through Hittin Links. If you host with another club you can only qualify with that club.
What is an NCGA Qualifier? So, the NCGA host 2 championships for associate clubs like us every year. These Championships are awesome 2 day events at Poppy Hills and the other is 2 days at Black Horse/Bayonet where the top players from all of NCGA Associate Clubs across NorCal battle to win the trophy! To determine the top players, NCGA host qualifier events where clubs like us send our best players to play a one day event with a chance to make it into the Championship. So how do we determine our best players to send to represent us at the NCGA Championship qualifier? To do this we take 2 of our regular season events and make them our qualifier for the qualifier and give players a chance to represent Hittin Links at an NCGA Championship! Typically if our team makes it in the top 3 or top 5 of teams at the NCGA qualifier they will qualify to represent Hittin Links in the NCGA championships at Poppy or Black Horse.
