PALMER CUP CHAMPIONSHIP

Our season-long Palmer Cup (Partner Best Ball) event allows you to compete in matches against opponents of similar handicap levels. Each team is responsible for playing against every other team in their flight. In each match, points are awarded for each hole won. The team with the most points in their flight wins. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by head-to-head match results. Winners from each flight compete in a shootout to determine the overall champion.
