2018 Maumelle Classic Dear Potential Participant: A brief note to encourage you to participate in the 2018 Maumelle Classic. The Classic is held at Maumelle Country Club in Maumelle, Arkansas, only 10 minutes from West Little Rock. Maumelle Country Club is rated one of the top courses in the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas State Golf Association frequently utilizes Maumelle Country Club as a state tournament site, and the course is a challenging test. Years past, it has been host to satellite PGA events in 1987 and in 1988 was a TPA stop. The Tournament Committee promised that 2017 would be an exciting event and the players provided exactly that for all spectators. Stafford Gray fired a final round 69 won by one shot to earn his first Green Jacket. Stafford had a three day total of 206 (67, 70, and 69). It is the intention of the Tournament Committee for the Classic to continue to expand as a premier Amateur Tournament in the South. This year should prove to be yet another marvelous year. With this thought in mind, we have invited the top amateurs of the states contiguous to Arkansas. Along with you, we have mailed invitations to these high quality competitors to assemble the strongest field yet for The Classic. The combination of a championship golf course and championship caliber players will lead to another great tournament this year. Should you be unable to attend this year but want to be retained on the mailing list, please advise the committee. If you do not attend and we receive no reply, your name will be deleted from the list. We look forward to seeing you in July! Thank you for considering our tournament!
