THE PINWHEEL CUP FORMAT

As the benefiting organizations of the Pinwheel Cup, Coastal Coalition for Children and Safe Harbor Children’s Center each fields a team of 23 twosomes to compete on its behalf in a one-day modified Ryder Cup tournament format. Each twosome will be paired against a twosome from the opposing team to complete head-to-head in an 18-hole handicapped match. The front 9-holes will be a best ball format worth 1 point, the back 9-holes will be a modified alternate shot format worth 1 point, and the entire 18-hole match is worth 1 additional point. Team scores will be calculated as the sum of its twosome’s individual points. The winning organization will retain the Pinwheel Cup Trophy until the following year’s tournament and will also take home additional prize money for its organization.

ABOUT FREDERICA GOLF CLUB

From the moment you enter the tabby front gates, you will be immersed in the captivating grandeur that is Frederica Golf Club.
