We plan to keep it a stableford format, meaning that each player plays their own ball and are designated a point value for their score on that hole.

  • Bogey = 1 point
  • Par = 2 points
  • Birdie = 4 points
  • Hole-in-one = 8 points

Remember, this event is not only about the golf but also a fundraiser! Meaning a point value is given to each player based on how much money they raise and that is added to the final score. We are reevaluating the breakdown of points awarded based on how much is raised. Every person has the chance to earn points for their team, and now teams score points by how much they raise as a whole.

Individual Points Earned:

  • If a Donor does not meet the $1,000 goal or a participant does not meet their $100 goal, no points will be awarded
  • Donor raises at least $1,000 / Participant raises $100 = 1 point
  • At least $1,500 / Participant $200 = 2 points
  • At least $2,000 / Participant $300 = 3 points
  • At least $2,500 / Participant $400 = 4 points
  • At least $3,500/ Participant $500 = 5 points
  • Highest Participant Donor = 4 points
  • Highest Overall Donor = 2 points

Team Points Earned:

  • If a Team meets the goal of $3,000 they will be granted 5 points, if they fail to reach that goal they will not be given any points
  • 1st Place Fundraisers = 10 points
  • 2nd Place Fundraisers = 8 points
  • 3rd Place Fundraisers = 4 points
  • 4th Place Fundraisers = 2 points
  • 5th Place Fundraisers = 1 point

The Core Values Cup is a unique event for our donors and participants of First Tee — Upstate South Carolina. This gives our participants the opportunity to use the interpersonal skills that they learn during their classes. It also gives our donors an opportunity to see the mission of First Tee in action firsthand!

Our goal this year is to raise a record amount of $50,000 for the mission of the First Tee – Upstate South Carolina in 2026.
