Greene County Partnership officials announced this morning that the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' 2011 and 2012 NAIA Women's Golf National Championships will be played at Link Hills Country Club.
Partnership officials said Greene County beat out San Diego and Salem, Ore., for the right to host the tournaments.
The 2011 tournament will be May 17-20 and the 2012 championships are scheduled for May 15-18.
"The NAIA is excited to make this announcement and we fully realize that the Greene County Partnership [and Greene County] will be the perfect fit for the NAIA Women's Golf National Championships," NAIA President and CEO Jim Carr said in the announcement.
Tammy Kinser, the Greene County Partnership's tourism director, said each of the two NAIA tournaments are expected to result in $250,000 in indirect spending here by NAIA golfers, their families and supporters.
