When & Where
March 15th
Hilton Head Island, SC - Palmetto Dunes Golf Club - Hills Course

The Arthur Hills Course offers a careful blend of beauty and challenge. Built on a series of rolling dunes at Palmetto Dunes golf resort, the Arthur Hills Course presents many opportunities for off-balance lies. Stands of palm trees and palmettos line the graceful fairway. Ocean breezes add to the challenge. The importance of precision play is amplified by 10 holes on the water.

Format
This THP Invitational will be a 2 man team format in which you will play your own golf ball. The kicker here is that THP will make the teams.
Tee Times begin at 10:30am
Initially open for 32 golfers
If more sign up, there will be a waiting list created.

Skill Level
ALL skill levels are welcome and we mean that with everything we stand for. In addition this is open to men and women of all ages (under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).

Prizes
Bridgestone Golf being the sponsor has graciously provided us with fantastic prizes. The winning team will each receive equipment, however because the item in question is not released as of yet, we cannot provide the details.

Winning teams will also receive 2014 THP Invitational Trophies as well as a spot in the THP Events Hall of Fame.

man that course looks sweet. Have a feeling this one will fill up fast
 
Good luck to all that get in. I wont be able to sign up for this one & that's a shame because the course and ammenities look great. THP & Bridgestone bringing it as always.
 
Have yet to play any golf in Hilton Head. Cannot think of a better way than w/ THP and the first Invitational of the season.
 
Friday afternoon will be busy around here, great looking course!
 
Must.... Go..... Sounds incredible, and a needed break from winter!
 
Okay. Time blocked on the calendar for this Friday at 1 pm. This is a must get in. THP/Bridgestone Invitational Series kick-off at such an awesome venue cannot be missed.
 
Just a side note (not patting myself on the back).

If you go to the Hampton site to book a room, the non prepay rate for a room is $159

$50 OFF PER NIGHT WITH THE THP RATE!

And to further pat you on the back, the course rate is not too shabby either.
 
So pumped to get the season going, this course is absolutely stellar!
 
Awesome. Can't wait. I'll probably be staying at my sister's house outside of Savannah. I've gotta get practicing.

Oh no doubt, I know Ive paid more for a round there
 
Looks absolutely beautiful. Darn school will prevent me from going to this.
 
Yes! This is a 3 1/2 hour drive for me. I must be there.
 
You guys are gonna have a blast at this one. Never a bad thing to say about Hilton Head. I will be flying in to Fort Meyers for a week on the 15th so it's a no go for me. I'll be following along though!
 
Mike I have a feling that you've outdone yourself at all these events regarding golf and lodging for those that need it,thanks for all your hard work dude.
 
Sure hope to get into this one. It has been a very long time since I have played HHI and the course was not near as nice as Palmetto Dunes. Thanks for putting together yet another awesome event.

No problem man, Palmetto Dunes has wanted to host a THP event for quite some time, so this was a perfect fit for us. The Hampton Inn was just awesome to work with and I think really grasped what we were trying to accomplish for the weekend. Thats as low of a price as you will find ANYWHERE on that island
 
Very excited to see this. Looks like a great event and such a wonderful location.
Would love to participate in this.
 
Flight to Charleston from JFK for $150.
