Clinger III Invitational is pleased to announce the results of the 14th annual golf tournament contested on Monday, February 17, 2020 at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. After a generally overcast morning, the sky cleared and the temperature climbed to the upper 60s for the second year in a row. Most notably, there was an absence of wind and rain during the tournament. These factors may have contributed to the 60 player turnout and the record setting low score for The Invitational.
