History

Saturday, July 14, 2012

The Commish's Cup is an annual team event, similar in format to the Ryder Cup, with teams from both inside and outside of The Slammer Tour itself. The event is always held in mid-July at Casselview Golf & Country Club.

The event is a day-long affair, beginning with a mid-morning warm up and meet-and-greet, partner and singles match-play competition, contests and prizes - including cash - and a meal.

Guest teams wanted!

There are five Slammer Tour teams and up to seven guest teams, and we invite you to put together your own team of 12 in an attempt to take down the 2010/2011 champions, Team Slammer East.

We'll see you at Casselview in July 2012!
