What Is The Getaway Guy Virtual Open?
Play your course. Compete nationwide.

The Getaway Guy Virtual Open brings golfers together from across the country for a simple idea: play where you are, compete with golfers everywhere.


Each participant plays one 18-hole round at their home course (or while traveling), tracks their score using 18Birdies, and competes in a fair, handicap-based format. No flights. No set tee times. Just good golf, friendly competition, and a shared love of the game.
