2023 President's Cup and Banquet Info

This year’s President’s Cup, Annual Meeting and Banquet will be held at the Jimmy Clay golf course & pavilion on October 24, 2023. Here are some details of the event.

PRESIDENT'S CUP (MATCH PLAY)

Past President Sam Mihalik will once again lead Team Blue along with his Assistant Captain Allan Myers. Sam and Allan last year led a 41-person team to a decisive 30.5 to 15.5 victory over Team Red rivals Travis McWhorter and David Brader.

This year current President Lewis Howell will captain Team Red, along with Greg Marshall as his Assistant Captain.

The four leaders plus Shawn Higgins, Event Chair, will meet on the Saturday morning prior to the event to draft the teams.

THE PRESIDENT'S CUP

How do you get to be selected to play Oct 24? It is simple. Sign up or have your usual person sign you up to play in the event on the 24th. The sign up will be open from October 18 until 5 o'clock Friday the 20th. You do not have to select a time as the event is a shotgun start (appx. 8:00). You must sign up by 5PM Friday because Bruce Jones will then compile the list of signups and forward it to the Captains and Event Chair so they will have time to prepare for Saturday morning's draft. You will see on Sunday the 22nd at the usual time which team you are on and who you will compete against in match play. 

On Tuesday morning you will pay your usual fees at the course. The winning President Cup team members will win $10 whether they won, lost, or tied their individual match.


THE ANNUAL MEETING

At the meeting we will elect Association Officers for the upcoming 2023-2024 season. In addition, door prizes will be provided for those with banquet tickets, along with announcements of the Grand Prix winners, and of course the President's Cup. There will also be members recognized for special awards.
