Hammock Beach Resort to Host Glover Park Golf National Finals

Glover Park Golf, a tournament organizer and event company since 2009, launched its innovative nationwide amateur tour and digital tournament app in September. Early adopters and participants are quickly becoming raving fans, calling GPG “the Peloton of Golf.”

The GPG app allows golfers to establish a handicap and compete against friends and fellow golfers across the nation on the golf course of their choice, anywhere in the country, on a specific day during designated GPG tournament weekends. GPG tournament “weekends” allow golfers the fun and flexibility to choose one out of three days to compete while seeing scores posted on the leaderboard in real time.

Players accumulate points and a GPG tour ranking based on how they finish during each GPG event. Prizes and trophies are awarded as well. “I love the sense of community of tons of like-minded golfers that love the game as much as I do,” said one GPG member. “It’s the Peloton of Golf. I have friends located all over and now we can play and trash talk during the round from anywhere.”

The official GPG mobile app calculates a GPG Handicap for each player (80% of net score) so all skill levels can compete. In addition, the app calculates every golfer’s course handicap based on the USGA rating at their course. This levels the playing field creating a fun and friendly competition, regardless of your skill level, against players across the country.

This year’s GPG Nationals will be held at the award-winning, Jack Nicklaus-designed, Ocean Hammock Golf Club located at Hammock Beach Golf Resort and Spa in Palm Coast, Florida on Saturday, December 11, 2021. The Top 50 players in the GPG rankings at the end of the season will earn their place to compete in GPG Nationals. By virtue of qualifying, the Top 50 will play their final round at Ocean Hammock for free, creating an exciting 18-hole shoot-out for the national championship.

There is still time to join the tour and attempt to qualify for the National Championship at Hammock Beach Resort. The next two GPG tournament weekends take place Friday-Sunday, Oct 22-24 and November 5-7. Par-

ticipants can choose to play and pay for one round at their favorite course during one of the three GPG tournament days in either or both of the two remaining events. The GPG mobile app does the rest!
