PALMER CUP CHAMPIONSHIP

Our season-long Palmer Cup (Partner Best Ball) event allows you to play matches against opponents of the same handicap levels. You will be responsible to play each team in your flight. For each match, each hole will be worth one point. The team that has the most points will win their flight. If there is a tie, the head to head match will determine the winner of that group. Winners from each group play to determine the overall winner in a shootout.

Date: 2023 Golf season
Format of Play:
