ROSS TROPHY
The Milton K. Ross Perpetual Trophy Honor Board tournament began in 1943 with a trophy donated by Milton Ross, a Berkeley taxi company owner and known as the “golfing cabbie.” Ross was one of Tilden Park Golf Club’s earliest members, playing most of his amateur rounds at Tilden. He became so enamored of golf that he dropped everything to become a pro golfer, succeeding only to the extent of becoming an assistant pro at a few golf clubs and ending up in Las Vegas from whence he disappeared.

FORMAT: Two person teams (members making up their own teams) play 18 holes of better-ball medal play at handicap. The 16 low net teams advance to a 72 hole, better-ball match play competition.
