19th Hole Awards Show

Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and avid golf enthusiasts, we are proud to announce the prestigious 1st Annual World Am Awards Show, August 29th at the World’s Largerst 19th Hole! We will gather to celebrate the exceptional talent, dedication, and remarkable achievements displayed by various people and organizations who have taken the event to new heights

In the world of golf, where precision, strategy, and pursuit of perfection reign supreme, we witness a unique blend of athleticism and finesse. Or at the World Am with a bunch of 25+ handicaps maybe not so much! It is on these pristine fairways and challenging greens that legends are born, stories are made, and history is written with every swing of the club.

On Tuesday night at the 19th Hole main stage, we will pay tribute to those who have left an indelible mark on the World Am.  We applaud the champions who have thrilled us with their breathtaking shots, nerve-racking putts, and awe-inspiring performances. Awards presented will include Golf Course of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year, and more! In addition, a commemorative video of our favorite memories over the last 40 years will be unveiled. 

Also honored will be participants who have joined us for 30 years. We invite those specifically to be present Tuesday night to receive a commemorative piece. As we embark on this evening of celebration, let us reflect on the significance of this tournament, not just as a competition but as a testament to the power of camaraderie, the spirit of healthy competition, and the global unity that sports bring.

Golf has the extraordinary ability to transcend borders, cultures, and languages, connecting people from all walks of life through a shared passion for the game.

We will come together to honor the true essence of golf – a sport that teaches us resilience in the face of adversity, grace in victory and defeat, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence. The awards we present tonight are symbols of recognition for these exceptional individuals, their accomplishments, and their immeasurable contributions.

So, let us revel in this grand celebration, embrace the excitement, and pay homage to those who left an indelible mark on the sport we hold so dear.

We look forward to seeing you all at the World Am Awards Show!
