Bobby Jones Golf Course, recently renovated with new Champion Bermuda greens, is an 18 hole public golf course that restsĀ in the heart of Buckhead and just ten minutes from downtown Atlanta. Built in 1932, this John Van Kleek design has a rich history dating back to the Civil War. The Battle of Peachtree Creek, one of the most pivotal battles of the Civil War, took place in the valley of the golf course surrounding the clubhouse. Today, Peachtree Battle Creek meanders through this tree-lined par 71 championship golf course and comes into play on five of the eighteen holes.

Welcome to the first golf tournament for all coaches and judges attending the Region 8 USAG Congress in Atlanta! Whether you are attending the congress, wanting to play golf, or just want to come out and enjoy the day, we invite you to attend!

The tournament is going to be best ball scramble - so each person will hit a shot, then everyone will hit again from the best ball lie. You don't have to be a great golfer or bringing an entire foursome. Each foursome will be drawn prior to shotgun. All golfers will be sorted by handicap and drawn to form even teams and avoid sand baggers. There will be prizes awarded for:

  • closest to the pin
  • putting contest
  • longest drive

This is a great opportunity to get to know everyone from Region 8 and have a great time. A majority of the proceeds will be donated between Region 8, the NAWGJ and Georgia Gymnastics. We are hopeful that in future years, the tournament will move around and be held in the same city that hosts Region 8 Congress that year. Future years proceeds would then be split between Region 8, NAWGJ and the state gymnastics association hosting congress.
