The Montclair Classic
The Tour's mid-season Minor. A 27-hole test in the Oakland hills where imagination, two clubs, and a partner who refuses to share his beat distance and ego.

The Montclair Classic is the Tour's most historic Minor event. Tree-lined fairways, tucked pin positions, and elevation changes that punish the wrong club. The player who best manages his misses usually contends for the Classic trophy.
The format is the Tour's most ruthless test of creativity: each player carries exactly two clubs, partners are forbidden from sharing, and the field plays three rounds across 27 holes on a course measuring a deceptively long-and-scary ~620 yards. Shot-making, club selection, and the willingness to hit a putter from 110 yards decide it.
There is no BBQ. There is, instead, a long afternoon of pool, cold beer, and — almost without exception — an unofficial fourth round once enough beers have been deployed. It is the Tour's most relaxed event and, somehow, also its most punishing.
