2024 Fall Cup Matches

ABOUT

The Women’s Fall Cup Matches are a statewide tournament consisting of 3 matches played in September between Member Club teams. Each team consists of 6 female players.  Each match will be played in a Four-Ball (best ball) match play format at 90% handicap allowance. Players from each team will be paired by Handicap Index® (lowest to highest) for each match.  The Fall Cup season will culminate in the Fall Cup Championship where a gross and net championship team will be crowned. The Fall Cup Championship field will consist of each region’s winning team sending 6 players to compete in a Four-Ball (best ball) stroke play format.

Fall Cup Matches are a great opportunity for players of all skill ranges and experience levels to be part of a competitive, team oriented and socially engaging event.

Eligibility

A female player must have an active Handicap Index of 54.0 or less and be active on the GHIN® roster of the club or course the team is representing. Each player must have posted five, 18-hole scores in the past 12 months. Players with a Handicap Index higher than 36.0 will be limited to a 36.0 Playing Handicap™ for Fall Cup Matches.  The handicap revision of August 19th will be used for all matches. The handicap revision date of September 30th  will be used for the Fall Cup Championship. Each Fall Cup Team Captain will be responsible for verifying player eligibility. There is no set roster for Fall Cup and a Member Club may use any six players who meet eligibility to field a team. The team can remain the same for each match or may be changed.

REGISTRATION

Teams are coordinated by a designated captain at each participating Member Club. Only the captain or club contact from a Member Club can complete the registration. Each participating Member Club must host one match per team to be played at their course, and teams are organized into regions by geographical area with four clubs to a region.

Important Registration Note: Captains, please be aware that due to the high demand of Fall Cup Matches participation:

• Only one team (“# 1” team) from each club will be accepted prior to the close of entries on a first come first served basis until we reach the maximum capacity of 80 teams.
• Secondary teams (“# 2” team) will be waitlisted and will be accepted on a space available basis after the entry deadline based on a random draw. If your club wishes to be put on the waitlist for a secondary team, BOTH teams from your club are required to host two matches.
