Mexican Amateur




Final Round Results:

DEREK BERG WASHINGTON 82 74 76 75 Total: 307

Ended up with a 22nd finish in the 2009 Mexican Amateur. It was a pleasure to have been invited to this tournament, and to experience golf at Club de Golf Mexico in Mexico City. The course was a hard course, with exceptionally narrow fairways. On the other hand, the greens were in horrible shape. I made it home tonight, however I wish I could say the same for my clubs. I know my clubs made it back to the states, because after I went through customs in Texas, I had to re-check them. So, somewhere wandering between Seatac and Dallas Fort Worth are my babies. Let's hope that American Airlines delivers them to me tomorrow morning. Afterall, I have to get out to the course to practice. Thanks for all who supported me in this tournament.

Mexican Amateur Tournament Website

Looks like the web address changed slightly.

Tournament Update

The tournament website seems to be having an error. In the first round of the tournament I shot 82 (afternoon tee time), but came back on Friday (morning tee time makes a difference) and shot 74 on the par 72 Club de Golf Mexico. Hopefully the tournament website will be functioning soon, so everyone can view both the team and individual scores. More to come soon.....

Mexican Amateur

I've headed off to Mexico City for the Mexican Amateur. I flew in yesterday 3/23 and today and tomorrow are practice rounds (3/24 and 3/25). The elevation here is just under 7,400 feet and the population is around 22 million. The tournament is being held at is Club de Golf Mexico in Mexico City. It will be 4 rounds; 18 holes of strokeplay each round. On Thursday I tee off of the first tee at 12:45.

So far the only site that i found with tournament info is:
http://www.fmg.org.mx/Torneos/lxxxii-campeonato-nacional-de-aficionados/Fiel.html

If you go to the "Resultados" tab on the above site, you should be able to view the results and scores from the tournament.

With Candice's help, we will try to keep the blog updated each day with scores. Thanks for your support everyone.
