Columbus Amateur Players Tour – Delaware Golf Club Recap
Sunday, June 28, 2026
The Columbus Amateur Players Tour held a one-day event at beautiful Delaware Golf Club on Sunday, June 28. Originally designed in 1922 by legendary golf course architect Donald J. Ross and later expanded to 18 holes by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and PGA Professional Fuzzy Zoeller, Delaware Golf Club features three dramatic valleys, tree-lined fairways, rolling hills, ravines, and scenic water features, making it one of Central Ohio’s premier golf destinations.
Despite the summer heat, 47 golfers teed it up on a beautiful sunny day, and the competition certainly didn’t disappoint, with three divisions requiring playoffs to determine a champion!
