Dear players,
We want to enthusiastically invite you to play in what will most likely be the coolest tournament of your 2021 season. Our mission is simple: create more playing and earning opportunities for the developmental professional female player, the young women who aren’t quite ready for the LPGA Tour, but who’s best golf is still in front of them. This will be the first professional women’s golf tournament in Northeast Florida since 1976 – and certainly unique in many ways, particularly the format:
You’ll play back-to-back events, the first being a 54-hole Stroke Play tournament with no cut which seeds the following week’s Match-Play Championship. The Match-Play portion will start with two days of Pool Play – 16 four-woman flights, producing one winner each. You’ll play six 9-hole matches over two days. Each hole is worth a point – so every hole counts, not just the match win (which provides a bonus point). The 16 flight winners will advance to the Knockout Rounds, with full 18-hole matches.
And there’s more:
-
World-class women’s empowerment organization Generation W will host a Links to Leadership Summit on the afternoon of October 29. Especially designed for you as female athletes, this will be an amazing discussion and mentoring session featuring some of the most incredible female leaders in the market from inside and outside the ropes. Think KPMG Leadership Summit. Followed by a cocktail reception.
-
The St Johns County VCB Between the Tournaments Concert – free and with VIP seating for you – will feature Nashville recording artist, Them Vibes for a night of blowing off steam on October 30.
-
Murray Bros. Caddy Shack will play host to the Official Pairings Party for the INK! Charity Pro-Am presented by Davidson Realty on October 24. All of you are invited to the party, which will feature libations from our co-sponsors Manifest Distillery, Maestro Dobel Tequila and St Francis Winery Sonoma. The following day 32 of you will play in the Pro-Am at King & Bear.
We’ve got lot of other awesomeness planned including some great tee gifts, food and a welcome package with all kinds of special offers from area restaurants and retailers. There’s a lot to do in St. Augustine and Jacksonville – you’ll have some fun!
See you in October!
