Current team members Brent Goodenow, Justin Livingston and Brent Messmore each qualified for the Iowa Ameteur that will be held July 25th through the 27th at the Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines.

Additionally, two Central alumni will be in the field next week as 1983 graduate Ron Peterson and 1999 grad Justin Schulte also qualified for the tournament.

Four former Central golfers also competed at the Iowa PGA Professional Championship Monday and Tuesday at the par-71 Arsenal Island Golf Course in Rock Island, Illinois.
