BUSH CUP LIVE SCORING
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern is set to compete at the second-annual Bush Cup Collegiate Golf Competition on Friday, Oct. 14, at historic Medinah Country Club. Army West Point golf team has accepted the Northwestern challenge to a Walker Cup style match to decide the winner of the 2016 Bush Cup.
This year's edition pits Army against NU, with four foursome rounds played in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon.
The Bush Cup Foundation was established in 2015 to "promote collegiate sports and inspire athletes to strive for personal excellence as well as service to our country as exemplified by the life of President George H.W. Bush." President Bush was honored by the dedication of the event and stated, "not only will the tournament bear my name, but more importantly it recognizes service to country... I am proud to be part of what I am sure will be a hugely successful annual event."
This 2nd Bush Cup follows the inaugural event that was held at the iconic Winged Foot Golf Club October 9, 2015. The West Point Cadets competed against Yale University (Alma mater of President Bush). A gala awards dinner followed the competition with guest speaker Ret. General Raymond Odierno addressing the more than 250 attendees.
The Bush Cup Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting goodwill celebrating amateur golf and recognizing Army West Point and their service to our Country.
The Bush Cup Foundation will also be awarding a Humanitarian Award to an "individual whose life of service has promoted the general welfare of society, has enhanced the human spirit and has honored our Country." David Feherty, famed golf professional, author and renowned television golf analyst will receive the 2016 Bush Cup Foundation Humanitarian Award at the awards dinner following the competition on October 14. Mr. Feherty is being honored for his contribution and dedication to U.S. Military wounded soldiers and their families. Mr. Feherty is the co-founder of the "Troops First Foundation" which has provided meaningful assistance and support to those solders wounded while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ret. General Raymond T. Odierno will present the Bush Cup Foundation Humanitarian Award to Mr. Feherty.
