Bert Nash Memorial ​Golf Tournament
​June 18-19, 2021

Tournament History
In 1972, shortly after the completion of Crag Burn Golf Club, the founding members established a 2-Man Scratch Better Ball Tournament to test the golf abilities of our area amateur golfers. This event quickly gained traction as one of the premier scratch better ball tournaments in the Buffalo District. During this time Bert Nash was honing his competitive skills in all the local Buffalo District championship tournaments. Subsequently, Bert joined Crag Burn Golf Club in 1981 and quickly became involved in the 2-Man Scratch Better Ball Tournament. Tragically, Bert's life was cut short in 1986 and the following year the Board renamed the tournament the Bert Nash Memorial Golf Tournament. Over the years the Bert Nash has maintained its status as the premier better ball scratch event in Buffalo. In addition to Bert's love of golf, he was a great humanitarian as demonstrated by his service as a Buffalo Fireman and his love of family. To honor his legacy, the Bert Nash Memorial has been a mainstay event for top local, state and national golfers.  ​​The tournament is held annually in  June and always hosts a strong competitive field of amateur golfers.

Eligibility
By invitation only. There will be two divisions: Championship, and Senior (50 years and over) .  Both members of teams in the Senior Divisions must be 50 years of age by June 18, 2021.  The Championship division must be Member/Guest or an invited Non-Member Team.  Invitations are sent to teams with the strongest resumes, with an emphasis on recent accomplishments against state or national level competition.

Invitations
You may submit your invitation request at any time. Please remember to submit a detailed golfing history - failure to do so may result in your request being withdrawn. Your request must reach Crag Burn by May 1, 2021.  Invitation requests will be reviewed by the Committee and invitations will be sent by May 7.  Responses must be due by May 15, 2021 from teams receiving invitations.
