What is the item at the top of every golfer’s bucket list? Playing a round of golf at St. Andrews in Scotland and taking a picture crossing over the famous Swilcan Bridge.
The World Wide Amateur Golf Championship can turn that dream into a reality if you qualify to represent Team USA against Team Scotland at Dumbarnie Golf Links. 
Players must first qualify for the Team USA National Championship at a local qualifier. The Team USA National Championship will be held in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, August 28-29. The format is 18-hole net stroke-play with one winner each from the four handicap divisions.
The Team USA National Championship will consist of 36 holes net stroke play with the first round being held at GlenGarry Golf Club and the second round will be contested at Arnold Palmer’s home course, Latrobe Country Club.
Randy Tantlinger organizer for the World Wide Golf Championship told us,
“Winners will be treated to a first-class golf experience both at the National Championship and in Scotland. This will be a dream golf trip that will be remembered for a lifetime.”
The four winners at the Team USA National Championship Tournament will fly to Scotland, all expenses paid, to compete on the newest true links golf course, Dumbarnie Golf Links, just outside of St. Andrews.
There are only 246 authentic links courses in the world and one of these is Dumbarnie Golf Links that sets hard by the Firth of Forth covering one and a half miles of Scottish coastline. The 2021 Women’s Scottish Open, won by Ryan O’Toole was held at Dumbarnie.
The publisher of Links magazine, George Peper said about Dumbarnie,
“I have no doubt that Dumbarnie will soon come to stand along with Kingsbarns as the two courses (after the Old) that every serious St. Andrews pilgrim will want to play”
This is an opportunity to test your game against other amateur golfers and take a shot at winning a bucket-list golf trip to Scotland.
