The Westgate Cup is a match play competition played between the Melbourne and Geelong clubs. It’s not quite an annual competition but we would like it to be. It was first played in 2013 and then Darren Stace-Smith brought it back in 2018. Jeff Brunsting and Tarron Anderson are TDing this year’s event. The team Captains are Darren Stace-Smith for Melbourne and Tim Bohan for Geelong.

More information including the rules and format are below:

If you are not familiar with match play it is a head to head (or doubles) competition to win the individual holes in order to win the round and match. You must be the clear winner of the hole to get a point. Any draws result in 0 points being awarded. They do not push to the next hole. The person who wins the most holes in a round wins a certain amount of points for their team. The more holes you win by the more points will be awarded. The team with the most points at the end of the day wins the tournament and the bragging rights (and probably some trinkets) that go with it. It’s a very exciting form of competing that can move very quickly. Often times the holes and the rounds are not played to completion if one competitor is the clear winner without the other even holing out or if it is mathematically impossible for a competitor to win the round. Get out and support your favourite team and watch this fantastic format.
