2021 Classic moves to September!
The 2021 Bob Downs Invitational Classic will be played on September 13! We had lots of good feedback about moving away from Derby weekend and so we have made the change. The classic will still be played at beautiful Big Spring Country Club. Mark your calendar now and plan to join us for the “new” fall classic!
