ABOUT THE CRUMP CUP
The first Crump Cup tournament was held in
1922. It is named for
George Arthur Crump, a hotelier and golf course
architect primarily
known for designing and building Pine Valley
Golf Club. The format
for the four days is two rounds of stroke play
qualifying, followed
by four rounds of match play. Players are
flighted according to
their qualifying position, and a separate Senior
flight includes two
of those flights. The final round has traditionally
held on the last
Sunday in September. It's the only day of the
year when the public
is invited to the grounds of Pine Valley;

nearby school and are bused in to enjoy the
grounds and watch top
level golfers compete. Jay Sigel has won the
event the most times,
with nine victories between 1975 and 1993.
