North Carolina State Amateur Championship
This year’s North Carolina State Amateur Championship will be at Raleigh Country Club. The May-June issue of Carolinas Green stated the championship had been moved because of drought but while that was an option under consideration recent rains have confirmed the event will go ahead in Raleigh as planned. Carolinas Green apologizes for this error.
