Goslings 2017 Invitational Golf Tournament
Called “the premier golf event in one of the world’s premier golfing destinations,” the Goslings Invitational for 2017 will once again take place at two Bermuda courses.
A spokesperson said, “This, the 43rd annual edition, will begin with an optional pro-am practice November 27 at the spectacular Port Royal Golf Course, host of the PGA Grand Slam and renowned for its world famous 16th par-three hole with a cliff-edge tee and promontory-perched green.
“After two days and 36 holes at Port Royal, the action will shift to the lovely, historic Belmont Hills Golf Course with its challenging slender fairways and distracting wide-open views of Hamilton Harbor.
“All in all, the event will include 90 holes over five days at these two famous venues. And, as in the past, Goslings will orchestrate several evening festivities for all participants including a Welcome Party at Port Royal, a fun filled party on the beach at Mickey’s Beach Bistro, a private rum tasting hosted by Malcolm Gosling, and a final night Awards Ceremony at Belmont Hills.
“Guests will enjoy luxury accommodations at the Fairmont Southampton Resort or the Newstead Belmont Hills Resort.
“The fee for professionals is $675 with a $65,000 purse; amateurs’ fee is $550, with several prizes and R&A World Amateur Ranking Points.”
Malcolm Gosling, President and CEO of Gosling’s International Limited, said, “The Goslings family is committed to hosting an elite international championship on the ‘Jewel of the Atlantic,’ our native Bermuda. The beauty of the island and these courses – plus the warmth of our climate and our people – always help make this an unforgettable occasion for the fortunate participants.”
“The New England Professional Golfers’ Association will be handling operations and partnering with the Bermuda Golf Association to help manage this preeminent golf tournament.
“Those interested are encouraged to register early here. Save $50 off the amateur registration fee if one registers before September 1. Registration closes Nov. 1, 2017.
