The 2018 RDGA Tournament Schedule begins on April 30 at Ridgemont Country Club with the first of five Play Days - casual competitions open to men and women and flighted based on USGA GHIN Handicaps - and concludes just over five months later with the year's fifth RDGA Play Day at Irondequoit Country Club on October 1. From start to finish, there are 25 events on this year's schedule.

Once again, there are three USGA Local and Sectional Qualifiers on our Tournament Schedule for 2018 - a U.S. Open Local Qualifier, a U.S. Amateur Sectional Qualifier and a U.S. Senior Amateur Sectional Qualifier - however, registration for these events must be completed through the USGA.org website.
