About this Event
OVERVIEW
If you play golf and have a verifiable handicap (or 10 rounds of play with scorecards available), then you are eligible to participate in the Episcopal vs. Woodberry Alumni Challenge Cup, a friendly, yet competitive Ryder Cup format golf tournament that was founded in 1999. One of the goals of this event is to use the spirit of competition that both schools are known for to create an endowment supporting financial aid for deserving students with financial needs. The teams have grown from eight alumni per school in the first year to 30 or more players per team in recent years.
The event begins with optional practice rounds on Thursday afternoon followed by a barbecue dinner and pairing announcements. Tournament play begins with Friday morning best ball matches and continues with modified alternate shot matches on Friday afternoon. Friday night there will be a coat and tie dinner for all of the participants and the tournament concludes with singles matches on Saturday morning. Official tournament activities end with lunch and the presentation of the Cup in the early afternoon.
SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT AND FEES
In addition to continuing to support the annual Roll Call, each player gives a gift of $1,000 for scholarship endowment that is split between EHS and WFS. The cost of registration covers 54 holes of golf, two dinners, and lunches. Additional costs include lodging and alcohol. The EHS-WFS Alumni Golf Challenge Scholarship Fund at EHS is currently valued at over $600,000.
