A New Way to Crown Our Club Champions
This year, we're giving the Club Championship a fresh new format.
Rather than deciding our champions during a single weekend of stroke play, the 2026 Ralph Myhre Match Play Championships will determine our Club Champions through a season-long match play tournament.
Whether you're an experienced competitor or trying match play for the first time, this event is designed for golfers of all skill levels. With handicap-based flights, nearly every match is competitive, making this one of the most enjoyable, social, and exciting events of the season.
If you've ever thought, “I'm not good enough for the Club Championship,” this tournament is for you.
Match play is one of golf's most enjoyable formats. Every hole is a fresh opportunity, one bad hole won't ruin your round, and you'll have the flexibility to schedule your matches at a time that's convenient for both players.

Important Championship Eligibility
To be declared the Men's, Women's, or Senior Club Champion, players must compete in their respective Championship Flight, which is played as Gross Match Play.
Players competing in Net Flights are eligible to win their flight, but are not eligible to be named the overall Club Champion.
Men's Net Flight: The Men's Net Match Play winner will be recognized as the Men's Net Champion and will have their name added to the Men's Net Championship plaque.

How it works
- Players will be seeded into a bracket within their division.
- Matches are scheduled by mutual agreement between opponents, allowing you to play throughout the summer at a convenient time.
- Winners advance until a champion is crowned in each division.
- Championship Flight winners will be named the 2026 Ralph Myhre Club Champions for their respective division.
- Net Flight winners will be recognized as flight champions, with the Men's Net Champion added to the Men's Net Championship plaque.
Net match scoring
Net matches will use 100% of the difference in Course Handicap.
Example
A player with a Course Handicap of 17 receives 4 strokes from a player with a Course Handicap of 13. Those strokes are applied on the four lowest allocated handicap holes.
Please ensure your GHIN Handicap is active before the tournament begins.
