Utah High School Girls Golfers Given One Last Chance To Compete

SALT LAKE CITY-Monday, Utah high school golfers were granted one last chance to compete.

May 27, under the direction of the Utah Section PGA, high school golfers will have one final state meet to determine individual medalist honors and a statewide all-state team May 27.

This event is not sanctioned by the UHSAA but conducted by the Utah Section PGA.

It will send up to six players to the course for an 18-hole competition May 27 at Meadowbrook Golf Course of Taylorsville in 5-A and 6-A competition.

Team scores will not be counted but high school coaches may sign up their teams as a group at utahpga.com.

Individual state meets for 1-A boys and 2-A, 3-A and 4-A girls will occur June 3. These tournaments are also slated for Meadowbrook.

No coaches or caddies will be permitted on the course, similar to restrictions in past state tournaments.

Galleries will also be limited and CDC guidelines for hygiene and social distancing will be promoted.

A one-time $40 entry fee will pay for all fees associated with the tournament. Individuals can sign up through their respective high school coaches by emailing agoodman@pgahq.com before May 15.

In accordance with CDC guidelines for all golf courses, all flag sticks will remain in the pins. Furthermore, no rakes will be left in bunkers and players will not congregate in a designated scoring area.

Individual scorecards will be dropped in a secure scorecard box to allow section members and volunteers to tally the individual leaderboard.

Utah Section PGA Executive Director Devin Dehlin said the admittance of spectators, including parents, on the course is currently undetermined.

However, it is likely that no galleries will be permitted on the day of the tournament, Dehlin said.

Following the meet, the Utah Section PGA will select 10 players from each classification to the all-state first team.
