This amateur golf event is focused on university recreational golfers and consisted of 35 local qualifying tournaments held across the United States in the fall. Local Qualifying winners advance to the official National Collegiate Golf Championship in Las Vegas December 3-5, 2004.

The CGA and NIRSA promoted and marketed the event to over 700 colleges and universities making this the premier recreational college golf event. Portions of proceeds of the Local Qualifiers and the Championship will benefit the NIRSA Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides opportunities for students through professional development, research, scholarships, and educational resources. To date, the NCGC program has raised over $6000 for the Foundation.

If the level of play at the Local Qualifiers is an indication of the talent level, we'll be in for quite a competitive tournament" stated CGA's President and CEO Mike Munson.

Sponsors of the event include Southwest Airlines, Warrior Custom Golf, Cutter & Buck, American Hole in One, Red Bull, Sports Illustrated On Campus and American Golf. To provide additional resources, CGA has appointed six regional managers to assist in the programming of campus golf events as well as help coordinate the National Tournament.
