This event would bring the natural rivalry of Lefty Teams from the United States and Canada in a Cross Border Match Play Battle for what would be the Can/Am Cup. If the Committee receives enough support (12 players per team) to move ahead, the Matches will be played in the Northwest in late July or early August. Several courses being considered in Washington are: Chambers Bay, site of the 2015 U.S. Open near Tacoma; Gold Mountain Golf Club – Olympic Course, Bremerton; PNGA’S Home Course, DuPont; and Washington National, home of the University of Washington’s Men’s and Women’s golf teams located in Auburn. The Committee is also exploring the idea of a 2014 JCI in South Africa preceding the WALG Championship. If played the dates would be October 22-24 (Wed. - Fri). A course under consideration is the Pearl Valley Golf Club located 50 minutes northeast of Cape Town. In 2011 the course was named one of the three top courses in South Africa by Golf Digest. For updates on both events please visit www.jamescup.org.

Your partner can be a lefty or righty. Lefties bringing a new lefty (not currently member or on mailing list) will receive two years free dues as will the new lefty. The tournament is being set up as a fun event with different two-player formats being used each of the three days. The tournament will be flighted and team handicaps will be utilized, which should help those players whose clubs have been in mothballs over the winter. The tournament will be held at Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation in Wilmington-Leland, N.C. (site of the 2011 National Lefty) on 4-6 April 2014. Since this is the beginning of the peak golf season in the Carolinas, the field is being limited to 50 teams to allow for other visiting golfers from around the Country to utilize the course. Prizes will be awarded to the first three places in each flight with the flight winners receiving a minimum prize equal to their entry fee. Tournament announcement and entry forms will be in the next Newsletter and will be on the NALG web site in early January, 2014. See you in Wilmington this Spring!
