Despite its catchy name, the Golf Ball isn’t a “ball” at all (tuxes and long gowns are pushed to the back of the closet in favor of golf shirts and sundresses) but rather a party featuring silent and live auctions, raffle tables, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. This part is always held during the biggest golf week of the year- Masters Week!
Modeled after the Walker Cup matches that have been contested between amateur golfers from the US and Great Britain and Ireland since 1922, the Watson Cup matches are intended to celebrate the historic connection between South Carolina, where golf was first played in America in the 1740's, and the Edinburgh/East Lothian region of Scotland, from where equipment was first exported to the first American golfers in Charleston in 1739. The matches will also give South Carolina and Scottish juniors the opportunity to participate in the type of international team competitions so revered by amateur and professional golfers in the Walker, Ryder, and Presidents Cups, and to gain experience in the different skills required to play golf on each side of the Atlantic.
