JAMISON CUP: STARTING TIMES | SCORING
WOMEN’S INTER-CLUB: STARTING TIMES | SCORING
PITTSBURGH — The WPGA begins its August competition schedule with the 37th Jamison Cup and Second Women’s Inter-Club finals Tuesday at Chartiers Country Club.
Honoring Thomas Jamison, a key figure in Western Pennsylvania golf as a founder of Hannastown Golf Club and longtime Oakmont member, the Jamison Cup brings together WPGA Member Clubs each year for Inter-Club competition.
This year, three clubs will compete in the Jamison Cup, with players representing Chartiers Country Club, Valley Brook Country Club and Oakmont Country Club.
The Jamison Cup features a team and an individual champion. The competition is 18 holes of gross stroke play with each team’s top three of four scores counting for the team per round.
While the Jamison Cup enters a 37th year, the WPGA will have women compete concurrently for the second time.
The WPGA continued its expansion of women’s golf competitions with the introduction of the Women's Inter-Club Finals a year ago.
This team event features five local clubs, with players representing Diamond Run Golf Club, Oakmont Country Club, Sewickley Heights Golf Club, Longue Vue Club and Westmoreland Country Club.
The championship follows an 18-hole Gross Stableford Stroke Play format. The teams will consist of six players. The top four scores from each team per hole will count towards the team score.
Inter-Club competition and league play have been integral to the WPGA's history since the early 1900s. The Diebold League, for example, is one of the region’s oldest leagues, and includes teams from Fox Chapel Golf Club, Longue Vue Club, Oakmont Country Club, and Pittsburgh Field Club.
Play will begin Monday at 8:00 a.m.
