Interclub Playoff Brackets Announced

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- The Carolinas Golf Association has announced a record 53-team, 2-bracket setup for this year's CGA Interclub Championship playoffs. Playoffs are divided into two regions, the North and South divisions.

This is the 18th CGA Interclub season that began in April with 79 teams competing in home and away matches within their respective group. Teams that finished 1st, 2^nd, or had a .500 record within their groups qualified automatically for the playoffs.

This year’s field includes the defending 2014 champions, The Creek Golf Association playing out of Highlands Country Club (Charlotte, NC) along with prior champions: Fort Mill Golf Club (Fort Mill, SC), Coharie Country Club (Clinton, NC), River Hills Country Club (Lake Wylie, SC), River Run Country Club (Davidson, NC) and Rock Hill CC (Rock Hill, SC).

Interclub playoff matches are single elimination with 12 players on each team competing for 18 match points. The playoff format (excluding the finals) involves 6 players from each club playing at home and on the opponent’s course simultaneously. Ties are broken by a sudden-death play-off at both courses simultaneously.

Playoffs will begin the last week of August, culminating with the “Final-Four” teams competing for the Championship at Grandover Resort (East Course) in Greensboro, NC on November 14 & 15. The semi-finals will be played Saturday with the two remaining teams facing each other in the finals on Sunday.
