2019 Play With Pete Invitational at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island

Last year the first Play with Pete Invitational was amazing fun for everyone involved.  The historic South Course at Oakland Hills was the host in October, and it was a day of great memories, even greater friendships, and golf memories that will be cherished forever. 
 

This year, the 2019 Play with Pete Invitational comes a little later in the calendar year, and pretty much kicks off my 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  And again three people were chosen from twitter and Instagram to join me, this time on The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. 

The Ocean Course needs no introduction.  It's consistently rated as a top-5 public course in the U.S. and one of the best in the world.  It  played host to one of the most famous Ryder Cups of all time in 1991, and the PGA Championship in 2012 when Rory McIlroy picked up his second career major and also break Jack Nicklaus' record for margin of victory at this event. 

 

Pete Dye's masterpiece is considered one of the toughest courses in the U.S., and will host the PGA Championship again in 2021.  However tomorrow, December 11th, it will play host to my second annual Play with Pete Invitational, and the winds and weather are expected to give us all a proper Ocean course experience. 

 

You can follow along with all the fun tomorrow on my twitter and Instagram feeds.  We'll have tons of pictures, videos, and shots that I'm sure exhilarate as well as embarrass.  It's just the nature of The Ocean Course. 

 

This year we're also having a big giveaway associated with the event.  You'll be able to enter here on my blog, on twitter, and on Instagram.  And one of you will win a brand new Galvin Green Don Insula jacket in your choice of color and size. 

 

The Don is perfect for layering in cooler conditions, and that makes it ideal for a place like Kiawah.  You already know how impressed I am with the Galvin Green Dolph Hoodie, which like the Don offers superior breathability and thermal regulation.  So while you may not be with us on The Ocean Course, you'll have the chance to win one of the best jackets you could ever want to wear on this Kiawah Island gem. 

 
 

It all kicks off tomorrow morning around 10:00 am EST.  And it's going to be an absolutely crazy, fun day.

    Thanks for the chance Pete. This looks like a great product. Would bode well for me when I hit the links on a cool spring/fall morning. Cause i love to play a course with a little dew on the grass bright and early

    That jacket would be perfect for the weather around here. The northern climes can making golfing tough, but it would be better with this great article of clothing.

    I do have to say I have never played an upscale or private course. I realize that these courses are manicured to a T. Looks beautiful and difficult. Tons of fun I assume and some heartbreak. Good Luck out there. Love the information. Also that Jacket is pretty awesome looking. Cheers

    Was a lot of fun to follow along with you guys yesterday. Family obligations prevented me from throwing my name in the hat for this amazing experience. Can certainly use this awesome jacket with the wet and cold weather we are experiencing in the south this winter.

    Played there this summer. Played great off the tee and shot 95 because I couldn't find a green and missing greens is a big nono. Thanks for the contest Pete
