THE THREE PUTT CUP
A TEAM EVENT
Like the Ryder Cup … but BIGGER!
The Fifth Chapter
23 - 26 October 2026
The fifth instalment of the Three Putt Cup saw two new teams, once again (Red vs. Blue) of 8 players each, square off against each other over 5 rounds of golf at the most incredible Gowrie Farm in the Midlands in October 2026.
Once again it was a brilliant tournament with plenty of close matches and it came down to the wire on the final day!
In the end Estian’s defending Team Blue were too strong for Gert’s challenging Team Red with the final result being 13.5 to Blue vs 10.5 to Red.
The competition was played under the following format and the results are shown. The group enjoyed a beautiful warm up round at Bosch Hoek and stayed at The Crofts and had exclusive use of The King’s Barn at Gowrie Farm.
