For the 2015 season, the Palmer Cup points system will remain the same and the top placing Members will be acknowledged following the Ladies Member-Guest in October. During discussions on changing the point system for the Championship weekend, the golf committee went into the archives to look at the original purpose of the Palmer Cup and how the Championship weekend was conducted. It was decided by the committee to go back to the original format for the weekend. The purpose of Palmer Cup points is to reward participation in member tournaments. The original purpose of the Championship weekend was to celebrate with the point leaders in the Palmer Cup race. This year, we will conduct a Ryder Cup Style event, with the 1st and 2nd place point holders acting as Captains for the 2 teams. There will be no points awarded for the weekend, but the winning team captain will earn the parking spot for the year! More details on the event will come out later in the year as we approach the conclusion of the Palmer Cup points season. Save the Date Call of the Wild Ladies Member-Guest
