Maggie Scott is gearing her entire golf season to her national championship.
The Charleston resident and Cleveland Country Club member has set her entire summer tournament schedule as a build-up to the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur being held Sept. 10-15 at The Honors Course in Ooltewah.
“USGA events are just big-time. That’s playing with the big girls,” Scott said. “It would be a big honor to do good, get in and play well for the home team.”
She has participated in three U.S. Senior Women’s Amateurs. Most recently, she reached the final 16 in match play in 2008 at Tulsa (Okla.) Country Club. She lost 2 and 1 to Toni Wiesner, who wound up the runner-up.
“The deal is that you have all summer to play and to get ready,” Scott said. “It’s nice to have it at the end of the summer. Playing in state events and different events around the area will get your game ready.”
