 Contestants will play on the 5,568-yard, par-70 course originally
designed by Theodore Moreau and James Foulis in 1901. Several
renovations have occurred since the original layout. Most recently,
in 2001, David Esler, restored the course features, consistent with
the intentions of Donald Ross, an earlier renovator.This year's
field will include previous IWGA junior tournament winners Michelle
Mayer of Flossmoor and Katherine Hepler of Lincoln, along with
former IWGA multiple senior state amateur champions Salley Wessels
of Mount Morris and Jackie Schwarz and Char McLear, both from
McHenry.
The tournament format is match play with flights determined by an
18-hole qualifying round on June 12. The championship flight will be
comprised of 32 players, with remaining flights comprised of eight
players each. Trophies will be awarded at the conclusion of the
tournament.
