ROSS TROPHY
The Milton K.

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.

THE TOP TEN SHOOTOUT
A very unique and highly anticipated event taking place in November. Members who accumulate the most Top Ten Points at tournaments throughout the year qualify for this event (at every TPGC tournament, members win points for 1st through 10th place).
FORMAT: Members who have accumulated the most Top Ten Points meet on the 10th Tee at 7:00am for this 9-hole event. If one or more of the Top Ten is not present by 7:00am, the next in order of Top Ten Points can take the absent player’s or players’ place(s). Handicaps are re-calculated by the Top Ten Director(s) so as to allow for no strokes on hole #18. A player with the highest score on each hole is eliminated. Ties are settled with a Chip-Off, all chip-off participants being obligated to turn away from seeing each player’s chip. Measurements for chip-offs are made using the traditional Gimme Stick.
