Your Golf Clubs

Please bring your clubs in your Gladney Cup golf bag with the provided temporary bag tag. Everyone will receive their temporary bag tag with their assigned tee time and starting hole in early September. If this is your first Gladney Cup (or you have communicated that you need a replacement Cup golf bag) those will be shipped to you in early September as well. We will let you know when to watch for both of these items.
