    Cleveland Metroparks Greater Cleveland Amateur Golf Championship (GCAC) has received international recognition from the World Golf Amateur Ranking (WAGR) Organization.


    Each year, nearly 100 amateur golfers compete in a three-day, 54-hole tournament to be crowned the best amateur golfer in Northeast Ohio. The Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship has been part of Cleveland Metroparks golf and the Cleveland golf scene for more than 20 years.   This year, the GCAC will take place from August 8 to 10 at Manakiki Golf Course, with qualifying tournaments on July 19, 20, 26 and 27. All players who qualify and play in the tournament will now earn world amateur ranking points. And, once the tournament is complete, the GCAC winner will be a World Amateur Ranked Player.



    �We are excited about the recognition from World Amateur Golf Ranking. It will add to the already exciting and competitive play so many people enjoy in the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship,� said John Fiander, PGA Master Professional. �It shows the world the first class amateur golf events Cleveland Metroparks provides for the area.� 



    The WAGR is run jointly by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland. The organization ranks the top amateur golfers in the world on the basis of their average performance in cumulative events on a rolling cycle over the previous 52 weeks.
