The GGO Competition Committee hereby invites you to the 17th Open Championship.The “Gross,” as it has been come to be known, is named for the Cubs outfielder/pinch-hitter of the mid-late 1970s who shares batting side (left), first name (Greg), and birthday (August 1), with the tournament director.For more info on Greg Gross, click here.UNBREAKABLE RULES:
All players must attend the post-tournament Awards Ceremony, to be held this again year at nearby Grandpa’s Place in Glenview.
The low scorer must wear the coveted “Pink Visor” on the course, and the high scorer must wear same for the first round of cold, frosty beverages.
Ties for first or last place MUST be broken with a playoff hole.
Apparel typically worn on nice golf courses strongly discouraged. Ditto for spikes.
Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification, a lifetime ban from future Greg Gross Opens, and in some cases, death.
This year's event will again be held at Anetsberger Golf Course in Northbrook, with two sets of 
nine holes, and a cut after the initial nine holes. Those that miss the cut will carry around the cooler and alternately cheer, heckle and taunt those in competition.No caddies, no carts, but plenty of parking. This is a “competitive” tournament, but the main point of this event is to have fun, not show off your prowess.
