THE R&A has named Hesketh as qualifying course for the 2011 Amateur Championship.
The Southport club was a final qualifying venue for the 1991 and 1998 Open Championships at Royal Birkdale. It will also host this year's Junior Open Championship before acting as the qualifying course when the Amateur Championship returns to Hillside Golf Club for its centenary in 2011.
