Dear Potential Participant:
A brief note to encourage you to participate in the 2022 Maumelle Classic presented by McLarty Nissan July 15-17. The Classic is held at Maumelle Country Club in Maumelle, Arkansas, only 10 minutes from West Little Rock. Maumelle Country Club is rated one of the top courses in the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas State Golf Association frequently utilizes Maumelle Country Club as a state tournament site, and the course is a challenging test. Years past, it has been host to satellite PGA events in 1987 and in 1988 was a TPA stop.
The Tournament Committee promised that 2021 would be an exciting event and the players provided exactly that for all spectators. With the event shortened due to weather, Palmer McSpadden came from one shot back to take the title. Palmer fired a bogey free final round 3-under to win the 2021 Classic by one stroke. He finished with a two-day toal of 137 (68-69).
It is the intention of the Tournament Committee for the Classic to continue to expand into one of the premier Amateur Tournament in the South. This year should prove to be yet another marvelous year. With this thought in mind, we have invited the top amateurs of the states contiguous to Arkansas. Along with you, we have mailed invitations to these high quality competitors to assemble the strongest field yet for The Classic. The combination of a championship golf course and championship caliber players will lead to another great tournament this year.
We are pleased to have McLarty Nissan as our presenting sponsor once again. McLarty Nissan shares our vision of making the Classic the premiere amateur event in the state.
Should you be unable to attend this year but want to be retained on the mailing list, please advise the committee. If you do not attend and we receive no reply, your name will be deleted from the list. We look forward to seeing you in July!
Thank you for considering our tournament!
Bill Jett
Tournament Chairman
