The Birmingham Golf Association Metro Amateur Championship will return next year after a four-year absence. This city championship is open to residents of Jefferson county and the six counties that touch Jefferson, namely Shelby, St. Clair, Tuscaloosa, Blount, Walker and Bibb, and was at one time know as the Legacy Amateur. Prior to that it was known as the BGA Hall of Fame tournament and dated back to the formation of the BGA in 1965.

The resurrection of the Metro Amateur is due in no small part to the efforts of Jim Norton and John Stamps, both BGA Hall of Fame inductees, with Norton having won the Hall of Fame tournament three times himself.

The Metro Amateur will be a 36-hole championship to be played April 24-25, which is a weekend. The first round will be played at Riverchase Country Club, followed by the final round at Vestavia Country Club.

The weekend’s festivities will coincide with the BGA’s Hall of Fame banquet, which will be held the night of April 24 at Vestavia Country Club.

The Metro had a storied past with Sam Farlow winning it four times, John Stewart three times and Will Wilcox, son of BGA Executive Director Kim Wilcox and now a mini-tour player, winning it twice in 2004 and ‘05, which was the last year it was contested.
