The Mixed Pinehurst was first played in 1964, and in recent decades it has attracted many of the top players in the Met Area. In fact, in 2012 the tournament was expanded to include professionals. Its significance is in both the relatively low Handicap Index thresholds for the competitors and the format, which encourages teamwork and demands that the players’ games complement one another.
