Charity organisation The Shivas Irons Society has invited the public to participate in its 17th Anniversary Celebration Tournament at Bayonet Golf Course in Seaside, California.

On 30 May 2009, the Society will hold its annual fundraiser at the newly renovated venue, which has hosted qualifying rounds for the US Open and the PGA Tour's Q-School, Nationwide Tour events and most recently, along with Pebble Beach Golf Links, the Champions Tour's Wal-Mart First Tee Open.

The theme for the day is ‘The Art, Science and Spirit of Golf Course Architecture’ and will feature a presentation and interview session with special guests golf course architect and author Forrest Richardson and attorney and writer Bo Links.

“This is more than just a charity golf event,” said the society's president Steve Cohen. “It is a fun, educational opportunity to engage with like-minded golfers who value all facets of the game."
