Purple Team Takes First Goddard Cup Title in Convincing Fashion
Taking place on two of Utah premier courses, Promontory’s Dye Canyon and Painted Valley, the inaugural Goddard Cup featured some of Utah’s top lady golfers. This Ryder Cup style event brings in ladies from the women’s and senior women’s Player Performance Rankings to duel it out in a 36 hole day of golf.
The format goes as follows: Foursomes matches (Alternate shot) in the morning with concurrent single and four-ball matches in the afternoon.
Playing for the Purple Team was Kelsey Chugg, Sadie Palmer, Kareen Alton, Naomi Soifua, Joanne Kim, Wendy Jerman, Joyce Billings and Karen Gardiner. The White Team consisted of Lea Garner, Haley Dunn, Roberta Scott, Jean Labrie, Nuny Kham-One, Maria Shiver, Sally Milbank and Amy Mayberry.
On a day where cool temperatures and rain made tough courses even harder, the Purple Team started hot, and finished on fire. Earning more points in all three forms of play, the Purple team cruised to an 11 to 5 victory taking the first Goddard Cup title.
