Girls' Amateur Returns to Beatrice CC
The 18th Nebraska Girls' Amateur Championship returns to a familiar site on July 30-31, Beatrice Country Club. The club last hosted the championship in 2014, when Wahoo's Hannah Thiele captured her first of back-to-back titles. It will be the third time this championship has been conducted at Beatrice Country Club, which also hosted in 2009. It will also be the first time the girls' and boys' events are run separately since 2007, with the boys playing a week earlier, also at BCC. Lincoln's Kate Strickland is the defending champion, after becoming the youngest to win the title last year. Entries are now open, visit the Entry tab for more details.
