The prime reason for the creation of this tournament is to celebrate, preserve and protect the origins of our game. Our hope is that the tournament will provide a link to a time that is getting easier and easier to forget. We believe history is important, useful and should be kept relevant. Do we expect you to thrown down your modern implements and take up hickory golf? Of course not. Just enjoy and celebrate the roots of our game in the manner of Hagen and Sarazen for a single day. We promise it will be an experience you will not forget.
