OK, The Sandhills Cup (Sandhill or Sandhills???) versus The Newport Cup.

The only knock I've got against the Sandhills one is that it may not always be played there, but the positive is that it's got "sand" in the title, at least.

If it's between those two, my vote is for Newport. I think Erik is right. I have the same difficulty with Sandhills.

Call me dumb, but who the blue hell is Newport?!?

I don't really care what we are playing for, but I want to win it whatever it is. :)

I'll be able to grasp things a little better when I know who Newport is...

Uhhh...

Call me dumb, but who the blue hell is Newport?!?

I had to search for the meaning of Newport myself, but this is Erik's post two pages ago:

The first U.S. Open was played in Newport (Newport Cup) and won by Horace Rawlins (the Rawlins Cup) - he's British. John J. McDermott (McDermott Cup) was the first American to win it. Francis Ouimet (Ouimet Cup) won it famously in 1913 with his sidekick Eddie Lowery (Lowery Cup). Walter Hagen (Hagen Cup) won not long after, of course, and then future champions included Bobby Jones (too overdone) and Billy Casper (Casper Cup).

Heh, you really can call me dumb now. There have been too many different names thrown around, I got confused. :/

Yeah, the Newport Cup sounds awesome to me. I think the first ever U.S. Open is a pretty big deal. And it's my favorite major too.

I'm all for Newport Cup.

Here's a late entry that I saw on PGA Tour Sunday yesterday, the Blisplinghoff Cup. Named after Don Blisplinghoff. The interview was pretty cool and this guy was really good. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Don Blisplinghoff won 15 tournaments by the age of 21, played golf with legends Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, and earned his PGA TOUR card on multiple occasions, yet he never fulfilled his dream. Blisplingoff reflects on his decisions, passion for the game, and love of family.
