Welcome
WELCOME FROM BERKELEY HALL
On behalf of Berkeley Hall, I would like to welcome you to the 34th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. We are exceptionally excited to greet many of the world’s top women golfers to the North Course for what will undoubtedly be challenging and competitive golf at its best!
The U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur is the epitome of excellence in amateur golf and Berkeley Hall has long been a proud supporter of amateur golf. Throughout the Championship, we know you will enjoy our stunning Lowcountry setting, the challenge and beauty of our North Course, and most of all, the welcoming nature of our members and staff.
This week would not be possible without the support of our Membership, Championship Chairs, the USGA, and more than 100 volunteers who dedicated their time and financial support to make this championship a success. A special thank you to our Championship General Chairman Rich Forde for his leadership and unwavering commitment, and to all who helped make an event of this magnitude possible.
Congratulations to the players on making it this far! It’s a tremendous achievement to earn the opportunity to compete in a USGA championship. It’s a special moment for all of us, and particularly our membership, as one of our own, Maggie Leef, has qualified and will be competing in the championship.
We wish you all the best of luck and hope that you not only enjoy the competition but cherish the camaraderie of your fellow competitors. Although golf is filled with ups and downs, it’s the relationships created for us that enjoy golf that are truly priceless.
Enjoy the week, make yourself at home and GOOD LUCK!
Adam Kushner General Manager & Chief Operating Officer
AT BERKELEY HALL
Welcome to the 34th U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur at Berkeley Hall Club.
We are honored to host the nation’s top female golfers to compete on our prestigious North Course.
As we bring this premier women’s championship event to Berkeley Hall, we reflect on the immense privilege of doing so in what has certainly been the most of uncertain times. Initially slated for 2020, the Championship was postponed due to the Covid pandemic. We are most thankful to the USGA for their great efforts to bring the Championship back here to Berkeley Hall in 2021.
The U.S. Women’s Mid-Am would not be possible without the support and commitment of Adam Kushner, General Manager and COO, along with our club leadership, committee chairs, volunteers, club membership and the USGA for their gracious support in helping make the Championship a success. In addition, generous support from our corporate supporters and member patrons through financial and in-kind contributions further allowed us to host such an event of this stature. Special recognition goes to Kieran Staunton, Director of Golf, along with our team of golf professionals for all the work they’ve done to prepare for this championship. We also thank Executive Chef Jeff McKinney and our committed Berkeley Hall staff for ensuring all preparations are in place.
The beauty and distinction of Berkeley Hall’s championship North Course would not be possible without the efforts led by Adam Miller, Director of Agronomy and our dedicated agronomy team. We would also like to thank our USGA partners Laura Nochta and Andrew Liao for their guidance and support.
Congratulations to all the players for achieving the great success of competing in the U.S. Women’s Mid-Am Championship. We wish you all the best, and with much anticipation look forward to seeing which great player will reign as the 2021 champion!
Rich Forde Championship General Chairman
