THE GAM WOMEN'S ATLAS CUP

The first GAM Women's Atlas Trophy Matches were held in 1989 when Michigan's  best public course players teamed against  the best private course players in a match play format.  The winning team is awarded the Atlas Cup Trophy and major bragging rights. The teams are selected from the GAM Honor Roll.  Players obtain Honor Roll points based on their gross finish in selected GAM and USGA tournaments and the MWGA State Championship.  Visit the GAM website at www.gam.org for the specific tournaments and the points awarded for each.

Each team consist of 12 players who must earn an invitation to compete on the team.  The teams are generally determined  by taking the top 8 eligible players from the GAM women's honor roll, the top player from the junior honor roll and the senior honor roll, and then two captains picks.  This highly competitive two-day event, setup similar to the Ryder Cup, is open to spectators.  All members and guests are invited to watch and support your team.

Beginning in 2005, in order to continue the annual Atlas Cup Matches, the Michigan Women's Golf Association (MWGA) along with the Men's Publinx agreed to help fund the expenses of the Women's and Men's competitions, along with the GAM.
