After a four year hiatus, the Charlie’s Maine Open will return to the Maine Golf schedule this week. The Maine Open is one of the two events that led to the founding of the Maine State Golf Association in 1917, and along with the Maine Amateur, it’s the longest-standing event in association history.
The Maine Open was not played at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when state borders were shut down and out-of-state professionals could not enter the state. The tournament was briefly replaced by the Maine Event, which served in its place for four years, giving Maine professionals and amateurs the chance to compete alongside each other.
We’re excited to bring back this historic tournament to Augusta CC on June 24-26. Charlie’s Motor Mall will again serve as the title sponsor of the tournament. The event is open to men and women, professionals and amateurs alike. We have a full field this year with players coming from all corners of the country to take on Augusta CC. The event is a three-day championship, with a cut after 36-holes to the low 50 players and ties (with some additional players from the non-professional divisions advancing as well). First prize this year will give the champion a check for $5,000.
