Three-day event will include final round at historic No. 2
CARLSBAD, Calif. – amateurgolf.com, the only website devoted completely to the amateur game, is proud to announce the latest in our Tournament Series “travel events” which include stops at Bandon Dunes and Kiawah Island. The inaugural Pinehurst Invitational is a three day, two person best-ball event that will be held November 1-4 at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club and is open to men and women golfers. Scratch, Net, and Senior Divisions will consist of two person teams either registering together or individually (with amateurgolf.com pairing them with another player).
Prices start at $1145.00 per person and include three days of golf, including one round at historic No. 2, three nights lodging, daily breakfasts, a welcome reception and tournament dinner. Tee gifts and tournament prizes will be provided by Bridgestone Golf, Lamkin Grips, UST Golf Shafts and Cutter & Buck Apparel.
“With our coverage of the 2008 US Amateur bringing us to Pinehurst for a preview and event story, we realized what a historic and grand resort it is, and decided to start our own event there,” said amateurgolf.com Founder Pete Wlodkowski. “Everything about the resort, and town, is pure golf, and we’re looking forward to introducing some first time visitors to the charm of Pinehurst.”
