Crystal Cup Invitational

The Crystal Cup Invitational is an annual tournament with the 2023 event being held on September 25.  Participation in the event is by invitation to the top 136 point earners in qualifying Club tournaments from January through August.  You are not required to play in all eight qualifying events.

 

Immediately following completion of the qualifying tournaments, the top 136 point earners will be invited to participate in the Crystal Cup Invitational.  In the event any qualifying player does not accept their invitation by August 14, 2023, the next player on the points list will be invited. If the top 136 qualifiers includes ties, invitations will be extended to those that competed in the most tournaments throughout the series, then to those with the lowest total scores.

 

The format is a 2 person scramble with teams assigned based on cumulative points earned throughout the season. The top two point leaders will be paired together and play with the 3rd and 4th place points earners. Players in 5th and 6th will pair together and tee off with the 7th and 8th place qualifiers and so on.

 

Entry fee into the 2023 Crystal Cup Invitational will be $25.00 per player and includes golf, cart & GPS, range balls and lunch.
