The Junior Inter-City Cup is an annual competition between The Women’s Golf Association of Philadelphia, the Metropolitan Golf Association (NY), and Mass Golf (formerly The Women’s Golf Association of Massachusetts). The event was first played in 1955. Each Association is represented by a team of five (5) of its best golfers. They compete for three points in a Nassau match against one player from each state (threesomes). A player may earn a total of three points against each of her two opponents (one point for winning the front nine, one point for winning the back nine, and one point for winning the match). A player who wins all matches against both opponents would earn a total of six points. The winner of the Junior Inter-City Cup is the association winning the most points. Read More
