Online registration is the only form of registration. Phoned or mailed entries will NOT be accepted

• Entries without profile pictures of you and your guest will NOT be accepted. Please have photos ready at time of submission. All guests must have an established handicap by the deadline due date, otherwise your registration will be placed on the waitlist

• The event includes five competitive matches over a three-day period. 18 holes each day on Thursday and Friday, with the final match played Saturday morning. The playoff format is a 3-hole (3, 8, and 9 on the East Course), select-drive, alternateshot, aggregate score (with handicaps); and will be played immediately following the Saturday morning match. We encourage everyone to stay and watch this exciting conclusion to the championship

This year’s entry fee is $1,595 per team.

Please note, registration does not guarantee entry. The Invitational Committee will notify members of their entry status by Friday, April 7.

The Baltimore Country Club Gentlemen’s Golf Invitational is a very popular sell-out event with participants coming from across the country. If the tournament is oversubscribed, the Committee will use certain criteria to determine the field, including but not limited to 2022 waitlist players, past participation in the Invitational and other Club golf events, and service to the Club. The Committee has always weighed service to the Club a qualifying criteria for application. This year, in addition to Club records, there is room on the registration form for details of such service to be noted in your own words. This allows for expanded perspective and due consideration which might not otherwise be apparent to the Committee.

Please contact the Invitational Committee or Director of Golf Greg Jones with any questions. We look forward to another outstanding tournament.

Sincerely,

Your Invitational Committee: Ted Bowes, Mason Champion, Tom Halleron, John Martindale, Jason Sevier, Richie Taylor
