The 2020 Challenge Cup was awarded to
La Rinconada Country Club scoring 434 Points – the most of the 6 competing clubs. The real winners are the kids who will receive financial assistance from the
$55,475 in donations. This support helps us to create a sense of belonging for all kids – no matter what walk of life. Thank you to all of the 181 donors that supported us!
The 2
nd Annual Challenge Cup was an inclusive and friendly challenge between golf clubs benefiting First Tee – Silicon Valley (FTSV) to help us grow the game of golf while building game changers in our community. It was an opportunity for golf clubs to demonstrate their philanthropic spirit of giving back to a non-profit closely associated with their favorite past time.
This year we had 3 Golf Club head-to-head challenge matchups competing for the Challenge Cup.

All teams were encouraged to include men, women and seniors in their team tally. Each participant made a donation to benefit the FTSV. The format was a Point Par Scoring with 100% of Handicap — Net Par 1 point, Net Birdie 2 points, Net Eagle 3 points, and Net Albatross 4 points.
The aggregate of top 24 scores from each club determined their team score. The team scores were compared to rival club to determine each match up club winner. All money raised by both teams was donated to FTSV in the name of the winning club plus bragging rights! The team with highest overall score among ALL clubs was declared winner of the 2nd Annual Challenge Cup Perpetual Trophy! Congratulations to La Rinconada Country Club!
FTSV also rallied our own players using the same format as a team building event where coaches and participants from our three locations came together to represent FTSV. The match scoring 326 points was played on November 9
th at the Golf Club at Moffett Field. There were 27 participants made up of 9 Ace level youth, 9 instructors, 7 volunteer coaches and 2 staff.
