April 10, 2008  --  Lafayette, LA  --  The entry deadline for the 2008 Louisiana Golf Association Amateur Championship is Tuesday, April 29, 2008.  Applicants can register online via the LGA's website (LGAgolf.org), or can download an entry form and send in a hard-copy entry.  Entries must be received in the LGA offices by 5 PM on April 29.  The LGA is again refunding $100 of the $200 entry fee to those not advancing from sectional qualifying to the Championship proper.

This year's event, the 89th edition of this prestigious Championship,  will be conducted at Gray Plantation, an extremely popular venue in Lake Charles, always rated by Golf Digest as one of the top five courses in the state.  The LGA has conducted a number of its Championships over the years at Gray Plantation but this will be the first time the Rocky Roquemorre designed course has hosted the LGA's marquee Championship.

Qualifiers will be held in early May at eight sites across the state with the Championship proper set to take place June 5-8.  144 players will compete in Lake Charles to see who emerges as the 2008 LGA State Amateur Champion.
