BRCC to host 100th Louisiana State
Amateur Championship
24
The venerable and historic Baton Rouge
Country Club will host the 100th edition
of the Louisiana Golf Association (LGA)
Amateur Championship July 18-21, 2019.
Baton Rouge Country Club, established in
1916, is one of the founding members of the
LGA and it is certainly fitting that the club
will host the centennial edition of state’s
most prestigious Amateur Championship.
Baton Rouge Country Club first hosted the
Louisiana State Amateur in 1923 and has
hosted the event a total of five times in all
(1923, 1942, 1949, 1953, and 1968). The
100th LGA Amateur in 2019 will mark the
first time the LGA will conduct its marquee
Championship at BRCC in 51 years (1968),
an event won by Shirley Picard of Lafayette
with a total of even par 288. The 100th
LGA Amateur Championship in Louisiana’s
Capital City is sure to be a tremendous
celebration of golf in the state, honoring the
legacy and traditions of the past while setting
the tone for a bright future.
“We are truly honored to return to historic
Baton Rouge Country Club,” said Logan
Ray, LGA Assistant Executive Director.
“Bringing the 100th State Amateur to BRCC
is a testament to the quality of the golf course
and the longevity of the strong relationship
the LGA has with the club. We are excited
to provide our players an opportunity to
play this wonderful golf course, and we look
forward to history being made once again at
this amazing venue.”
