Additional package details include four nights’ accommodations at The Carolina Hotel, welcome reception, daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, prize ceremony and tournament sponsors’ gift pack.
Its 13th World Invitational Father & Daughter Tournament will also be contested on the remarkable links at Waterville this year from July 21 – 24.

Each team entry includes three rounds of golf, deluxe nightly accommodations, welcome reception, full Irish breakfasts each morning, dinners each evening, tournament photos and gifts, shuttle transportation throughout and an awards ceremony.
