Snake River Cup

The 2012 renewal of the Rotary Snake River Cup is scheduled for Friday, October 5, at the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club with tee times beginning at 12:40 p.m.

        This year teams of golfers from both Rotary Clubs in Idaho Falls, the Rotary Club of Driggs, and all three Rotary Clubs in Jackson are invited.  Each invited Rotary Club may enter as many as 10 Roto-golfers (or as few as one golfer).  Each team member must be a member in good standing of the Rotary Club on whose team the member plays, and it is recommended that each golfer posses a valid USGA handicap index because most of the points awarded are based upon net scores rather than gross scores.  (Any Rotarian may participate on a “space available” basis.)

        Participating Rotary Clubs earn points based on how a golfer scores relative to other golfers, first low gross receiving more points than second low gross, first low net receiving more points than second low net, and so on, with more points for low net than for low gross.  The Snake River Cup will be awarded following play to the Rotary Club that earns the most points, the Cup to be displayed at the weekly meetings of the winning Club until the Cup is safely returned to the next renewal of the Snake River Cup event.

        Green fees, including cart and practice facility, are only $40.00 per golfer, a significant discount, courtesy of the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, and are payable to JHG&TC prior to play.  (Members of JHG&TC will pay only a “cart fee” of $20.00.)  The requested entry fee donation for each participant is $25.00, to be contributed to the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole Foundation.  The entry fee donations will be divided among the charitable foundations of the Clubs as follows.  If two Clubs compete:  Winner – 65%; Runner-up – 35%; if three Clubs compete:  Winner – 45%; Runner-up – 30%; Third place – 25%; if four or more Clubs compete:  Winner – 40%; Runner-up – 30%; Third place – 20%; Fourth place – 10%.

        The Snake River Cup was established in 1996 by the Rotary Club of Idaho Falls and the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole for the purpose of fostering good will and friendship.
