The event is much more than a golf tournament though. The Invitational involves the entire community as everyone in the area is invited to come spectate and watch the great matches that encompass this tournament. Families and children of all ages can be seen walking side by side with their favorite player each day, experiencing firsthand what it’s like to feel the ups and downs of competitive tournament golf. It is this experience that gives the Invitational a special feeling; one that creates a sense of excitement and suspense from the moment the first match tees off Thursday morning and continues until the final putt is sunk Saturday afternoon.
The KCC Better Ball Invitational utilizes a team best ball match-play format with all players playing at scratch. The event has 2 flights: Championship and Greenleaf, with all participants beginning in the Championship Flight and moving to Greenleaf Flight after a 1st round loss.
