Interclub Tournament
This two day event is heralded as “The Ryder Cup of Stamford”. It is an annual event played between the two public courses of Stamford, CT: Sterling Farms and Hubbard Heights. One round of golf is played at each course. Each club is represented by 14 players. 10 Net qualifying spots are open to our Men’s Club members. The Interclub is traditionally held in August.
In 2009, Saturday’s round will be held at E. Gaynor Brennan and Sunday’s round will be held at Sterling Farms. After Sunday’s round there will be a free lunch as well as a quick awards ceremony.
Team
The teams consist of 14 members and include:
- Club Champion
- President
- Tournament Chairman
- President’s pick (*see below).
- Qualifier: Top 5 Net scores from players with course handicaps of 10 and under
- Qualifier: Top 5 Net scores from players with course handicaps of 11 and above
*In 2009 the President’s pick will be utilized to ensure the low gross qualifier makes the team!
Prizes
The winning team receives individual trophies for each team member. In addition, the large Interclub trophy will be engraved with the winning club’s name and go to the Club until the next Interclub tournament.
Sterling Farms has won the Interclub in 2007 and 2008. The trophy is on display at the Player’s Club.
