Just two events remain in the Northern Ohio Golf Association’s 2025 Great Lakes Auto Scratch Series season, critical for the NOGA Player of the Year race and access to the season-ending events that it brings.
Just two more events to meet the three NOGA tournament minimum requirement as well. That, along with a top-16 finish on the Player of the Year Points List, earns a spot in the NOGA Tour Championship, played at Firestone Country Club on Sunday, September 7th (Fazio Course) and Monday, September 8 (South Course), in Championship and Senior Divisions.
Then, after distributing the points earned from the NOGA Tour Championship, the top-12 in each division earn a spot on a team in the Lewis Cup, the NOGA Ams vs. Seniors matches played October 22-23 this year at The Country Club in Pepper Pike.
So let’s review the 2025 NOGA Player of the Year Standings with two events remaining.
And remember, if you’ve only played once or twice in a NOGA event this season and want a chance to compete in the Tour Championship at Firestone and Lewis Cup at The Country Club, sign up now for the NOGA Scratch Alternate Shot at Ellsworth Meadows on Friday, August 29 and the NOGA Scratch Stroke Play #4 at Glenmoor on Tuesday, September 2 to reach the three NOGA event minimum…
