Spring and Summer is when our club has many of its major events. Club subsidies are higher for these major events compared to our regular events. If these events are oversubscribed, our normal priority selection system is not used. A random draw determines who plays.
Grand Torrey Cup
This an annual match occurring in July or August with the Grand Golf Club in Del Mar involving 24 TPMGC members versus 24 Grand members. The format is Fourball (Better Ball of Partners match play). Those who qualify have an opportunity to play a match on Torrey South followed by a match at the Grand, which is a private course. Participants from prior years will most likely tell you it is well worth qualifying for. We have several qualifying events each year and they are listed on the club website. You can only attempt to qualify once.
