2026 will be the 5th annual outing. In 2022, 16 men faced perfect early fall weather, a packed ride on the Bexley Beat, and multiple beverages in between. With a 2-man format that tested their golf skills, liver, and mental fortitude, Andrew Brinkmeyer and Dr. Jon McFadden came out victorious and hoisted the coveted, laser print rocks glasses. In 2023, Nick Boyden and Mike Gruelich battled 22 others through marshmallow terrain and distracting Super Mario Power Ups to dethrone Andrew Brinkmeyer in a card-off victory. In 2024, Matt Plank and Nick Boyden bested 34 other golfers and celebrated their victory at the Virginia Lee Circle! In 2025, Gerry Manley and Chris Berndt took down the field by using Chris' silky smooth ¾ swings and Gerry's impeccable facial hair.
The 2026 Eastmoor Invitational will have a 2-man scramble format. The Goal of the Eastmoor Invitational is to build up the community that we live and play in. If you have new people who are interested in playing please send me their information.
In Early August, you will be assigned a random teammate. Your team will be assigned a handicap based on your skill levels. Teams are encouraged to be more creative than LIV golf and select fun team names and even more unique uniforms. There will be strokes awarded for the top three uniforms.
The cost of the day will be $110. This will include breakfast, alcohol, greens fees, and prizes. PLEASE RSVP and Venmo Dave Salisbury by August 1st.
