SBS Invitational

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min

The SBS Invitational was a 72-hole amateur stroke-play team championship played, from 1977 to 2015, between the 15 golf associations of New Zealand. It also acted as the New Zealand Teams Stroke Play Championships. It was permanently hosted at the Invercargill Golf Club in Otatara, Invercargill. It was mostly played in the first weekend of March, although later events were played at other times. It was played for the Macquarie Cup. To celebrate 30 years of the Invitational, a team from Australia was sent to compete in the tournament. The event was axed in 2016 because of scheduling problems.[1]
