Connecticut Amateur Championship

The Connecticut Amateur Championship is organized by the Connecticut State Golf Association (CSGA). The event usually starts with two days of stroke play qualifying rounds to narrow the field, followed by match play rounds for the top 32 players. The match play consists of two rounds across two days, with a 36-hole final match between the last two competitors. The championship typically features approximately 120-132 amateur golfers, who qualify based on handicap index and meet eligibility criteria set by the CSGA, including residency or membership qualifications. The format challenges players across multiple rounds and demands both stroke play consistency and match play skills.
