Italian Mid Amateur - Trofeo Maria Pia Gennaro

The Mid Amateur golf tournament is typically designed for amateur golfers aged 25 or 30 and older, depending on the specific event rules. It is organized by national or regional golf associations such as the USGA for the U.S. Mid-Amateur. The tournament usually features a combination of stroke play and match play formats, with the first stage consisting of stroke play rounds to qualify followed by match play rounds to determine the champion. The field size varies, often limited to 64 or 128 competitors who qualify through sectional qualifying tournaments or by meeting handicap and age requirements. Qualification requires a low handicap index (usually 2.4 or lower for the US Mid-Am) and meeting the age criteria, with entrants often coming from affiliate golf clubs or associations.
