IF YOU WANT TO BE AN AMATEUR PLAYER IN THIS EVENT PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY: 

We are pleased to be sponsoring the first international US GC Open to be held at the National Croquet Center (NCC) in West Palm Beach, FL.  The 2024 US GC Open ProAm is part of the 2024 US GC Open tournament.  It is the first day, Monday, January 6, 2024.  This event is a fund raiser and gives members that want to both support USCA and CFA a chance to play doubles with one of the top players in the world in a one day tournament.  The basic entry fee is $1,500 and will consist of three parts spelled out on your receipt.  The amount of value you receive will be the portion of the entry fee that is not tax deductible.  The amounts above that will be donations to USCA  to support tournament expenses and prize money.  The details are being finalized.  We expect to have a banquet dinner with the GC Open Pro and Am players.  You will be assigned seating with a Pro on each side and get to know these great players that competed.  Trophies will be handed out at dinner for the finalist.  Don’t miss the chance to be part of this inaugural event.  There is only one chance to say you were there when it all started and helped make it happen.  Our mission is to make this open an annual world premier golf croquet championship.

There is also an optional Platinum Sponsorship that is an additional $2,500 added to the basic entry fee of $1,500.  Platinum sponsors will be immediately added to the doubles player list skipping the wait list.  They have the option of having their name or logo sewn on the sleeve of the event shirts or signage for the Food or Beverage service their generosity provided.  They will have the option of requesting a Pro of their choice provided the Pro agrees for the doubles tournament.  These funds support the general tournament expenses and prize money for the main event and will be broke out on your receipt.  It is this support that will help us attract the best players in the northern hemisphere to our shores for this premier event. 

If you want to play in this event, sign-up now now.  Platinum Sponsors will be admitted as they go on the wait list.  All other players for the basic sponsor entry will go on the wait list in the order they join and will be admitted to the tournament on the allocation date in that order.  Those that act quickly will be rewarded.  At that time you will have 7 days to pay your invoice that will be posted on the USCA website in your member account.

Space is limited to 16 players. Once that number is reached you can sign-up for the wait list should there be a withdrawal.
