67th Annual Golf Invitational

13-15, 2024 Five Farms East & West Courses Gentlemen’s Member-Guest

Dear 2024 Gentlemen’s Invitational Participant,

The 67th Annual Gentlemen’s Member-Guest Golf Invitational continues to be the highlight of the MGA calendar, with consistently high demand shown by the large number of entries received. On behalf of the 2024 Gentlemen’s Invitational Committee, once again, we would like to congratulate you and your guest for being selected to participate in this year’s championship, which will take place on June 13-15. You will find details of the Invitational weekend outlined in this booklet.

The event includes five competitive matches over a three-day period. 18 holes each day on Thursday and Friday, with the final match on Saturday morning. This year’s playoff format will yet again be the 3-hole (3, 8, and 9 on the East Course), select drivealternate shot aggregate score with handicaps immediately following that Saturday morning match. We encourage everyone to stay and watch this exciting conclusion to the championship.

Please keep in mind that a considerable waitlist remains. Therefore, the Committee would encourage and appreciate timely notice if anything prevents your participation.

If you have any questions, please contact the Committee or Director of Golf Nick Cannon.

Thank you, and we look forward to another wonderful championship.

Sincerely,

2024 Invitational Committee

Ted Bowes, Mason Champion, Tom Halleron, John Martindale, Jason Sevier, Richie Taylor
