Hello Players:
Welcome to the 2023 Winter Invitational being held Dec 16-17 at Corica Park in Alameda -- the home course of AmateurGolf.com! Below is some very important information to help you plan your weekend.
TOURNAMENT PORTAL
Pairings and results will be available on our Golf Genius portal, 2023winterinvitational.golfgenius.com. We will have pairings for you no later than this Sunday, December 10. We will be teeing off the 1st and 10th tees from 8:00-10:03am.
PRACTICE ROUNDS
Corica Park will provide tournament players with the Bay Area resident rate of $70 (M-Thurs) and $89 (Fri-Sun) until the tournament. You can reach the GOLF SHOP at: 510.747.7800
TEES
Championship (Men): Black Tees at 6874 yards
Championship (Women): Blue Tees at 6303 yards
Senior Division: Blue Tees at 6303 yards
SCORING
All scoring will be electronic using Golf Genius. I encourage you to download the app if you don't have it already. Each group will be given a unique GGID to use when entering scores and we will verify at the scoring table after the round.
SCORE POSTING
We will post scores to GHIN after each round.
CADDIES/CARTS
Carts are not included in the entry fee. Players may walk and carry their own bag or have a friend caddie. Players who wish to rent a cart may do so at their own expense. No spectator carts are allowed, but spectators may walk -- keeping a safe distance and out of harm's way at all times. Corica Park is very walkable and many players will choose to walk.
PAYOUT
Callaway gift cards will be awarded to top finishers in each division (18 championship, 2 senior; ties broken by the USGA method of final 18, final 9, 6, 3, and 1 hole). In addition, there will be a prize for the low mid-amateur score, low super senior score, and low woman score.
LODGING
We have partnered with HotelPlanner.com to provide you with excellent rates; a search of hotels near the golf course provides you with plenty of options. Find your hotel by using the following link: Winter Invitational hotel search
WITHDRAWALS
Per the refund policy agreed to during registration, the last day to receive a 50% refund is Saturday, December 9th. So if you need to withdraw we suggest that you do so by then. Tournament policies can be seen on the Info tab HERE.
We'll use email to communicate any weather issues or other last-minute changes.
Thank You,
Pete Wlodkowski, AmateurGolf.com
