Posted at 10:04 am on Tuesday, June 29th - Unfortunately today's Kansas Amateur Qualifier at Falcon Lakes is being cancelled due to weather and unplayable course conditions. The golf course has received a large amount of rain and the front nine is impassible. All players that are entered into this qualifier will be offered a spot in the 2nd Chance Qualifier on Tuesday, July 6th at Eagle Bend Golf Course. Please check your email for additional information on entry transfer and refunds. We sincerely apologize for not being able to play this qualifier as originally planned.
Posted at 9:20 am on Tuesday, June 29th - Host course maintenance staff is out evaluating course conditions at this time. Another email update will be sent to players at approximately 10 am this morning. Thank you.
Posted at 6:25 am on Tuesday, June 29th - Unfortunately the weather forecast is looking accurate with on and off rain predicted for most of the day today in the Kansas City area.
We still intend to try to play this qualifier today as scheduled as we do not have many options in terms of rescheduling due to the upcoming July 4th holiday and proximity to the Kansas Amateur Championship next month.
Players that do not wish to participate today have two options:
1. Have your $100 entry fee refunded back to you
2. Have your entry fee for this qualifier transferred to the 2nd Chance Qualifier on Tuesday, July 6th at Eagle Bend GC in Lawrence
Please email Casey Old (CASEY@CLGOLF.ORG) or reply to this email indicating if you would like to do either option indicated above.
Additional updates will be sent out later this morning as necessary once we can evaulate the course conditions with the host club staff. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we do our best to manage Mother Nature this week!
Posted 6:00 pm on Monday, June 28th - Please check the Central Links Golf website and your email often for updates on the weather for this qualifier on Tuesday morning.
