September 10, 2027 - September 11, 2027
The 16th playing of The McNabb Cup is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2027.
An optional round is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 10, on the Benona Shores Golf Course.
The Cup itself is contested over the Tom Bendelow-designed White Lake Golf Club (1916) that winds through lovely wooded fairways. A legendary Saturday evening soirée follows golf to celebrate the day, the winners and to sing the praises of golf.
The great Cup itself is enough to validate any golfer’s resume. It is played in honor of the one who originally won it in 1922, Miss Isabel McNabb. The Cup is a test of honor, of skill, of patience, and the ability to appreciate and celebrate golf’s great tradition of friendly competition. The Captain of the Cup, Mr. Bill Ellington,  himself a three-time champion of The Cup, welcomes all who would challenge for this great trophy.
The previous year’s participants receive a letter of invitation, however, earnest contestants are always encouraged to apply to The Cup’s secretary, Mr. JH Davis Jr. The field is limited to 32 players. The Committee welcomes all golfers, men and women, to apply.
The fee is a mere $110 for the day of The Cup (golf, cart, food and drink) and the evening’s celebration. Other costs (golf and dinner on Friday) are extra. There are several very reasonably priced local hotels and B&Bs for the traveling pilgrim who wishes to experience both days of play.
The field is usually studded with eminent hickory golfers from throughout the country.
