2026 Golfer’s Information

 FOR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2026

·    Arrival: Check-In begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Country Club of Maryland. Registration tables will be by the scoreboard, weather permitting.

·    Substitutes and New Guests: If you are bringing a guest to golf and think we may not have their email address, please take a moment to forward this message along.

·    Updated Format: Due to a shortage of daylight hours in November, the format of this year's Community Cup has been altered as follows:

·    Games Package: Many of you opted to purchase our "Games Package" this year when you registered. That means your team of two will already be included in the following: "The Bear" Putting Contest (initial round), The Hon Ball Contest, and the Don Cook Memorial Raffle for a 2-person team in the 2027 tournament. Details about each of the games can be found in the next section of this email. Those of you who did not sign up for the Games Package will be able to do so the morning of the event at the registration table.

·    Check-In and Registration: When you arrive, head straight for the Check-In table. If you pre-purchased the Games Package, we will confirm your registration and send you on your way. If you did not pre-purchase the Games Package and wish to, you will have the opportunity to do so at that time.

·    What is waiting in your cart? Your divisional team shirt will be placed in your golf cart. Please change into your team shirt before playing. Locker Rooms are available. Also, please note that the dress code is golf attire (no jeans). Those who signed up for the Games Package will also find their raffle tickets and Hon ball in the cart.

·    Community Cup Store: Each player will receive a $150 merchandise credit to be used at the Community Cup Store! The Community Cup Store is open from 7:30 a.m.- 8:45 a.m.

·    Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and a post-tournament reception are all included in the day's events. Plan on joining us for all three. Only golfers, volunteers, and sponsors with a guest pass included in their sponsorship ticket will be permitted to attend the post-tournament reception.

·    The Cigar Box: Back by popular demand, we will be offering complimentary hand-rolled cigars from The Cigar Box, starting at 11:00 a.m.

·    Team Photos will be taken at 12:00 p.m. 

·    A "Hole-in-One" opportunity awaits you! Try your luck at the 13th hole and you could win $5,000.

·    Champion in Life Partners: We will be joined by our two Champion in Life Partners! You will have the opportunity to learn about these organizations and meet those responsible for doing such great work in our community. It's a great opportunity to get an up-close look at the charities benefiting from the funds raised at the Community Cup.

·    Weather - Currently, Mother Nature is calling for cloudy but little chance of rain. A high of 67 degrees is expected. As always, if things change drastically and there happens to be a rain delay or reschedule, we will notify you by email.

·    Thank You! Your participation and generosity are appreciated more than you could know. This event allows us to make a real difference in the community and we attribute that success to everyone participating in this year's event. Enjoy!
