NUEVA CUP:
TOURNAMENT NOW OPEN!
Our 13th annual Nueva Cup Golf Tournament has officially begun! If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t worry—there’s still time to register and compete in our remote golf tournament. All participants will independently complete their round of golf throughout the month of October and submit their scores by Saturday, October 31.
We are using the Peoria Scoring System to create participants’ handicaps, and first-grader Jude S. helped us randomly select the holes to determine each player’s handicap (click here to watch video).
All levels and ages are welcome, and we encourage you to invite family and friends to register and join you on the links!
Proceeds from the Nueva Cup will benefit the alumni and athletics programs.
