ASGTour officials announced today entry exemptions into the 2012 US Putting Tour National Championship in September will be awarded to two members from each ASGTour District.

The 2012 USPT Championship will take place at the beautiful ClubCorp Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe, California in scenic coastal north county San Diego. The event provides for Men, Women, Senior & Junior Amateurs to be on the green from Sep 26 - Sep 29 and Pros on the green from Sep 30 - Oct 2.

The Pro Division includes any player who wants to play for a $20,000 first place prize, regardless of their skill level.

Total purse is estimated to be $50,000 with a full field of about 250 players. Last year's winner took home a $10,000 first place prize in a field of nearly 230 players. No doubt it will be bigger and better in 2012!

In addition to the US Putting Tour Championship, individual 18-hole stroke play events will be held daily on Sep 30, Oct 1 & Oct 2 after players have completed their putting rounds. The stroke play events will follow the ASGTour single round event format and will be open to all divisions of players. Entry fees and payout information will be announce shortly.

ASGT ENTRY EXEMPTION AWARDS

Two All Star Golf Tour members from each district will be awarded entry exemptions into the USPT National Championship based on one of the two following categories:

ASGT National Entry Exemption Award
Players track their total putts for each ACGT tournament round completed between April 1st and the last district event prior to Sep 26th.
ASGT will select the three rounds with the the lowest number of putts taken by the player. The player from each district who has the lowest three round putting total will be awarded an entry exemption. The more scores a player posts, the better his odds of receiving an exemption.

District Level Entry Exemption Award
In addition to the exemption awarded by ASGT National, each district will award one entry exemption based on the Member of the Year category points leader at the conclusion of the last round prior to the putting championship.

Players are awarded points for event entries, new member referrals and guest player referrals. The more you play and the more members you refer to the tour the more points you accumulate towards your exempiton. 

Don't miss your opportunity to participate in the 2nd annual US Putting Tour Chamjpionship and the chance to putt for $20,000!

And the best part of it all is . . . . If you can putt . . . You can WIN!!
