I have long believed that golf is an honorable game, played by honorable people.
In addition, deep inside each of our souls, we love to build relationships with our fellow members AND we want to compete in a worthy competition.
The Cactus Cup, AKA “the Smashie” gives us the rare opportunity to do both.
We hope with TPC Danzante Bay as our chosen ground, participants will bring the best of themselves and their golf games to the event. There is no doubt the Cactus Cup will build community. It will challenge each of us to play our very best.
I am confident, if we do all this, the Cactus Cup will leave each of us with a greater sense of pride and belonging to not only the course, the membership, but most importantly, the other men we choose to embark on this challenge with.
I hope you will join this great group of men for this new Tradition at Silverleaf!

A huge thank you to each of them.
In addition, a nod of appreciation to each of you who have joined us this coming OCTOBER 26 making the Cactus Cup an event that will be an event we look forward to year after year among Silverleaf members.
While the Cactus Cup is meant to be a competition, the true nature of this event is to have fun with fellow members and make lasting memories and relationships that will go much further than wins or loses.
I challenge each of you to bring your best to the competition but extend your grace to your fellow players and competitors.
Play well and may the best team win
