SBS Invitational

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