U.S. Amateur Public Links

Since its inception in 1922, the U.S. Amateur Public Links has given exposure to many public-course players who otherwise might not have an opportunity to compete in a national championship. The competition is open to any bona fide public-course player whose USGA Handicap Index does not exceed 4.4. The APL is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the USGA, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.
