About:
The Girls Four State Team Championship was established in 2008 to promote a friendly rivalry among amateur women golfers from the four border states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Each state rotates hosting every year.
The 2023 Girls Four State Championship was held at Elks Country Club in Columbus, NE on June 26-28. Team Kansas claimed its second victory in 4 years and its 12th overall. Kansas finished with 9.5 points and runner up Nebraska finished with 6.5 points. It was a great team victory!
The 2025 Girls Four State Championship will be hosted by Kansas at Firekeeper Golf Course in Mayetta, Kansas on July 1-3.
Selection Process:
Each team is comprised of 6 female amateur junior golfers to represent each state. Team members for Team Kansas are chosen from the Central Links Golf service area including the four Missouri counties. The selection process has changed starting in 2024.
The first three spots on the team will be reserved for the Top 3 from the Junior Girls Player of the Year list from the previous year. Those three girls will receive the first round of invitations and automatically qualify. The other three spots will be evaluated and chosen by a CLG Committee as captain’s picks based on the following criteria: performance and participation in CLG Junior and Women’s tournaments, age and previous team match play experience, ability to play from a championship yardage, character and positivity, among other factors.
Conduct of players and parents will also be taken in to consideration. Central Links Golf reserves the right to exclude any player from a team based on conduct, even if they are in the Top 3 and automatically qualify for the team.
The first round of invitations will go out in early March. Invites will be communicated to prospective players throughout April-June after that. Email Taylor at taylor@clgolf.org with any questions.
2024 Team Members:
Hadley Neese, Savannah Cagle, Addison Douglass, Maddie Myers, Naomi Koontz and Lynn Powell
